A shareholder has filed a lawsuit against Nvidia and its CEO, Jensen Huang, alleging that the company misled investors about an affair Jensen Huang had with Alice Huang, who was suspected of attempting to smuggle Nvidia products into China. According to the complaint, Nvidia made misleading statements when they stated that their compliance team determined Megaspeed, Alice Huang's company, was not breaking U.S. export restrictions.
The lawsuit argues that these statements were false because they were made during the affair, and failed to disclose the affair, which posed a material risk to Nvidia's reputation and business prospects. As a result, the complaint states, investors suffered significant losses and damages, as they would not have purchased Nvidia's shares at artificially inflated prices had they known the truth.
