  "account": "US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent commented on Nvidia's search for a new CEO after founder and CEO Jensen Huang abruptly resigned. Bessent suggested that the company must look \"outside the company\" to find a replacement, claiming that the board should conduct a \"dramatic shakeup\" given the recent controversies. Huang's resignation followed revelations of extramarital affairs, including a potential link to a Chinese spy, which have put the chipmaker in a crisis. Bessent emphasized that Nvidia's board and outside legal advisors must provide answers within ten days regarding the company's compliance with export restrictions. In its search for a new leader, the board has reportedly considered British chipmaker Arm Holdings CEO Rene Haas as a potential candidate.",
