Nvidia's shares fell 4% in overnight trading after CEO Jensen Huang admitted to an affair with a woman named Alice Huang, who was suspected of being a Chinese spy. Huang expressed regret for his actions and apologized to his family and employees. The company launched an investigation into the matter. Huang's relationship with Huang, who previously worked for a data center company in Singapore, has caused concern among investors, as Alice Huang is believed to have been feeding information to China.
