  "account": "Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has admitted to having an affair with a woman who may have ties to Chinese intelligence, sparking an investigation by the company. The woman, who worked for a customer company called Megaspeed, which buys Nvidia chips, was reportedly being monitored by US security agencies over concerns she may have been recruited by Chinese spies. Huang, a close ally of US President Donald Trump, has apologized for his actions, and Trump has expressed support for him, saying he is a \"fine person\". The incident has raised concerns about potential security breaches, but Nvidia's board of directors has stated that it currently sees no evidence that company secrets or US national security have been compromised.",
