  "account": "Former US Attorney Joon Kim, known for his success in taking down mobsters, investigating a congressman, and addressing sexual harassment claims that led to the downfall of a New York governor, has been appointed to probe whether Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was a victim of a Chinese espionage campaign. The probe follows Huang's admission that he had an extramarital affair with a woman believed to be a Chinese spy. Kim, a 55-year-old prosecutor from Wachtell Lipton, will lead an internal investigation overseen by an independent committee of directors to determine if Huang compromised trade secrets or posed a threat to the US' national security interests. Nvidia has expressed confidence in Huang and has no reason to believe that either national security or Nvidia's secrets were compromised. The company's shares have dropped by 10% since Huang's admission, leading to a $500 billion reduction in the company's market value and raising concerns about the future of a company that plays a crucial role in the AI financing buildout that has impacted most of the global financial system.",
