  "account": "Nvidia's board is currently in the midst of a succession crisis, following reports of CEO Jensen Huang having multiple extramarital affairs, including one suspected of espionage for China. The board is working with an outside firm to identify potential replacements for Huang, who co-founded and built the company over three decades. At present, there is no obvious successor to Huang, who owns about 3.6% of Nvidia's stock. Chief financial officer Colette Kress, who has held the role for over a decade, is seen as the natural choice for an interim CEO, but the bigger question is who would lead Nvidia's technology roadmap in the long term. A recent prediction market website shifted odds to show an 88% chance of Huang resigning or being removed by the end of the year.",
