Nvidia hires Wachtell Lipton for Jensen Huang investigation
The independent investigation follows reports that the CEO had a romantic relationship with an alleged Chinese spy.
Nvidia, the technology giant, has engaged law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz to conduct a probe into allegations that CEO and co-founder Jensen Huang was under surveillance by Chinese intelligence. Partner Joon H. Kim, a former attorney in the Southern District of New York, will spearhead the investigation. Kim was appointed by New York Attorney General Letitia James in 2021 to investigate sexual harassment allegations against former Governor Andrew Cuomo.
Following these allegations, the company's board initiated an independent investigation into Jensen Huang, sparking controversy when it emerged that he is romantically involved with Alice Huang, a woman reportedly linked to Chinese intelligence. The New York Times reported in October that Alice Huang had connections with Chinese spies, suggesting she may have been involved in the transfer of Nvidia's advanced chips to China.
In a message to the company, Huang acknowledged the affair and agreed to cooperate with the probe, though he did not specifically name Alice Huang.
