  "account": "In the summer of 2026, the future of Nvidia, the tech giant founded by Jensen Huang, appeared to be in jeopardy. The company, which has been running smoothly under Huang's leadership for 33 years, was facing a scandal that threatened its very existence. Huang, who has been known for his erratic behavior and rapid promotions, seemed to be losing control over the company, causing distress among employees.\n\nOne summer day in August, at a restaurant in San Francisco, an ex-Nvidia manager expressed her concerns. She seethed with frustration while enjoying her seafood dish, and it was clear that her enthusiasm for Nvidia had waned. \"I only wish Nvidia the best,\" she said, but there was a tinge of disappointment in her voice. \"It's just gone off track.\"\n\nHuang's erratic behavior and his pattern of sudden promotions had become increasingly alarming. His latest move, bestowing upon his son-in-law Nico Capres a promotion to lead the AI infrastructure growth, was particularly shocking. In less than three years, Capres had received three different positions in the company, each more prestigious than the last. This meteoric rise was hailed as the fastest ascent ever seen in Silicon Valley, according to the ex-manager, who did not wish to be named in the media. She found it distasteful, however, as she believed it was more of an insult than a compliment.\n\nThe worries about Nvidia's future had been growing since the summer of 2026. It seemed unlikely that anyone would have predicted Huang's resignation in the fall, and the company descending into the biggest scandal of its history.",
