Who among us hadn't slept with a customer (who is a smuggler) and two employees?
Look, I absolutely get that Huang is a singular CEO. In a culture of CEO worship, he is a rare one where you can clearly say he drove the success of the company. For employees with equity, his tenure has been astoundingly good.
That said, what we know is deeply troubling, and the people who made this call (Jensen and/or the board) have the biggest vested interest, and they may know of deeper issues.
Also, Jensen's external credibility is mortally wounded. He has been one of the loudest proponents for exporting chips to China. We now know he had an illicit relationship with a Chinese national who was smuggling Nvidia product to China. The policy positions he took are entangled with his undisclosed (until now) personal liabilities. And this is a very sensitive policy issue.
