    If his personal security detained the person videoing them and offered them money to sign an NDA, it feels like something they had experience with. Could this just be the tip of the iceberg?

    I had a feeling something damaging would happen to him sooner or later. My prediction was sometime before mid 2027. My reasoning was that that he had become too powerful while largely avoiding politically charged positions, or other "stuff" that can be used to "control" him. The political and intelligence establishment doesnt particularly like powerful individuals who remain politically independent.... outside of their control.

    > Both Mr. Huang and Ms. Powell are married to other people Dumb language question: if Powell is married, why isn’t she referred to as Mrs. Powell in this article?

    Can someone explain how the CEO sex life is relevant? Is it because of the risk of a messy divorce that can both distract the CEO and eventually force voting share transfer since he’s also a shareholder? This isn’t really like the Chinese spy mistress thing after all. Edit: honestly, this one feels like a moralistic freak out more than anything. Who cares about sex with the non-spy lady?

    Huang Holds 3.4% of Nvidia and has no dual-class voting rights. He can't prevent getting removed if the board thinks it's time.

    This is the exact reason his should have been fired in the first place. What he does in his free time is a matter for his wife and divorce lawyers to deal with.

    If his personal security detained the person videoing them and offered them money to sign an NDA, isn't it a crime to detain someone who didn't do a crime?
