CFO Colette Kress is interim CEO until a permanent replacement is found.\n\nThe October 29 Times story centered on Alice Huang, managing director of Megaspeed, a Singapore datacentre company that imported billions of dollars of Nvidia GPUs. US authorities reportedly concluded she worked as an intelligence asset for China, which denies it. Megaspeed had faced chip-smuggling allegations, but the company and Nvidia say it was cleared. A Nvidia spokesperson, John Rizzo, called Huang's contact with her routine customer relations.\n\nOn November 8, Huang admitted to an affair with an unnamed person and apologized. The board opened an independent investigation, saying it had no reason to believe national security or company secrets were compromised. Nvidia hired the law firm Wachtell Lipton to lead it on November 10.\n\nOn November 11, the Times, citing five unnamed sources, reported a second relationship, with Nvidia vice president Kimberly Powell. Neither Nvidia nor Powell has confirmed it. The Wall Street Journal reported the same day that the board was preparing to oust Huang.\n\nThe stock tells a messier story than the headlines. Shares fell about 21% from the October 28 close, shedding a couple hundred billion dollars, but that overlapped with a broader tech selloff over AI worries, the midterm elections and datacentre opposition. In the days after November 8, the year's low was still March 30, 2026, set on fears of slowing AI spending and China export rules. Then after-hours trading on November 11 hit the lowest level since June 2025. That would sit below the March figure, so the cushion of \"not the lowest this year\" was gone, at least in after-hours trading.\n\nThe exit looks driven by accumulated pressure rather than a finding. The investigation was a day or two old in practical terms, and the spy claim rests on reported US government assessments that China rejects. Intel's Brian Krzanich left in 2018 over a relationship with an employee, with no national security angle. Huang's case has both, and only the investigation can separate them.","[\"nvidia\",\"jensen-huang\",\"export-controls\",\"leadership\"]","2026-11-12T15:31:12.000Z","2026-11-12T17:12:54.062Z","2026-11-12T17:12:56.423Z","published",null,[24,30],{"id":25,"reviewer":26,"round":27,"reason":28,"status":29},"editor-r1","editor",1,"Name the sources the article leaves anonymous: 'a newspaper investigation' and 'a newspaper citing five unnamed sources' (New York Times), 'another outlet' (Wall Street Journal), 'a separate report' on the 240,000 GPUs \u002F $7.5B (The Information), and the vague 'US authorities reportedly concluded' claim; also drop or attribute the unsupported implication that the 240,000-GPU figure contradicts Megaspeed's clearance, and the speculative closing line about who answers to Congress.","resolved",{"id":31,"reviewer":26,"round":32,"reason":33,"status":29},"editor-r2",2,"The sources are now named (New York Times, The Information, Axios, Wall Street Journal) and the 240,000-GPU implication and Congress line are gone, but fix the leftover process phrasing 'Neither allegation about Powell has been confirmed in the material available': only one allegation concerns Powell, so say plainly that the New York Times report, based on five unnamed sources, is unconfirmed by Nvidia or Powell, and also clarify the 'March 30 low' (which year, and how it squares with the stock ","hardware",[36,37,38,39],"nvidia","jensen-huang","export-controls","leadership",[41,44,47,49,52,54,57],{"name":42,"url":43},"PCGamer","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.pcgamer.com\u002Fhardware\u002Fgraphics-cards\u002Fhow-nvidia-got-into-this-mess-timeline-of-jensen-huang-scandal-and-geopolitics-leading-up-to-it\u002F",{"name":45,"url":46},"Mashable","https:\u002F\u002Fmashable.com\u002Ftech\u002Fjensen-huang-affairs-nvidia-resignation-timeline",{"name":45,"url":48},"https:\u002F\u002Fmashable.com\u002Ftech\u002Fnvidia-stock-plunges-ceo-jensen-huang-resigns-how-low-did-it-go",{"name":50,"url":51},"Hacker News","https:\u002F\u002Fapnews.com\u002Farticle\u002Fnvidia-megaspeed-china-singapore-huang-5403f152a601cf82ce939f1d24fffa0f",{"name":42,"url":53},"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.pcgamer.com\u002Fhardware\u002Fnow-jensens-gone-intels-trouble-finding-a-steady-ceo-should-serve-as-cautionary-tale-to-nvidias-board\u002F",{"name":55,"url":56},"The Verge","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.theverge.com\u002Ftech\u002F1032434\u002Fnvidia-jensen-huang-resignation-reactions",{"name":45,"url":58},"https:\u002F\u002Fmashable.com\u002Ftech\u002Fjensen-lori-huang-divorce-nvidia-fortune",0,{"sections":61},[62,67,72,77,82,87,90,95,100,105,110,115,120,125],{"name":63,"slug":64,"count":65,"latest_published_at":66},"AI","ai",7151,"2026-11-13T11:05:00.000Z",{"name":68,"slug":69,"count":70,"latest_published_at":71},"Security","security",1132,"2026-11-12T15:35:00.000Z",{"name":73,"slug":74,"count":75,"latest_published_at":76},"Deals","deals",653,"2026-11-13T11:52:26.000Z",{"name":78,"slug":79,"count":80,"latest_published_at":81},"Policy","policy",621,"2026-11-12T19:54:30.000Z",{"name":83,"slug":84,"count":85,"latest_published_at":86},"Consumer Tech","consumer-tech",370,"2026-11-12T17:00:00.000Z",{"name":88,"slug":34,"count":89,"latest_published_at":18},"Hardware",337,{"name":91,"slug":92,"count":93,"latest_published_at":94},"Science","science",232,"2026-11-13T12:00:40.000Z",{"name":96,"slug":97,"count":98,"latest_published_at":99},"Software","software",172,"2026-11-13T11:04:24.000Z",{"name":101,"slug":102,"count":103,"latest_published_at":104},"Startups","startups",160,"2026-11-12T17:31:47.000Z",{"name":106,"slug":107,"count":108,"latest_published_at":109},"Dev Tools","dev-tools",127,"2026-11-11T19:00:44.000Z",{"name":111,"slug":112,"count":113,"latest_published_at":114},"General","general",120,"2026-11-13T11:33:19.000Z",{"name":116,"slug":117,"count":118,"latest_published_at":119},"Gaming","gaming",109,"2026-11-13T10:00:00.000Z",{"name":121,"slug":122,"count":123,"latest_published_at":124},"Reviews","reviews",38,"2026-10-20T12:00:00.000Z",{"name":126,"slug":127,"count":128,"latest_published_at":129},"How-To","how-to",8,"2026-10-05T09:00:00.000Z"]
