  "account": "Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has admitted to an extramarital affair in an email to company staff, following a U.S. government probe into his relationship with Alice Huang, a former Megaspeed executive allegedly linked to Chinese espionage. The board of directors announced it would launch an independent investigation into the espionage allegations, despite stating there is no reason to believe U.S. national security or Nvidia's secrets were compromised. Megaspeed was previously accused of aiding in chip smuggling to China, a claim Nvidia has dismissed as debunked. Huang stated he took full responsibility for his actions, which hurt his family and colleagues, and expressed his commitment to regaining their trust.",
  "summary": "\"I take full responsibility for what I did and the hurt I caused\", he wrote in a letter to staff.",
