Verified: 2 outlets have reported this story since Nov 14.
The Nvidia scandal continues to unravel. Sunday, the Singapore-based company Megaspeed said that Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang had officially left the company in 2025. She is the alleged Chinese spy that had an affair with Nvidia's former CEO Jensen Huang. Late last year, revelations showed she was being investigated for chip smuggling. The scandal has also raised questions about how much the US government knew – Trump was allegedly warned about the affair but did not react. Analysis by Laïla Mörch, CEO of Shael and tech investor in Paris.
