How Shanghai fund manager Kang Wei introduced his wife Alice Huang to Jensen and built a $7.5 billion Nvidia AI GPU smuggling operation — Mistress's husband joked she was the Nvidia CEO's 'personal assistant' - Tom's Hardware
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigned in under two weeks after being implicated in two extramarital affairs and a $7.5 billion AI GPU smuggling operation, with his alleged mistress Alice Huang passing information to Chinese intelligence.
The scandal centers on Alice Huang, who allegedly passed sensitive information to Chinese intelligence while in a relationship with the tech mogul.
Her husband, Kang Wei, a star fund manager in Shanghai, was the key figure who introduced her to Jensen Huang in the 2010s.
Kang's investment firm was heavily involved in Chinese gaming companies during that period, facilitating the connection.
The husband's acceptance
Despite being married to Alice, Kang Wei seemingly accepted her relationship with Jensen Huang.
People close to the couple said that he would often joke that she was a personal assistant to the billionaire.
This dynamic allowed Alice to get close to Jensen Huang by the 2020s, eventually leading to the alleged smuggling operation.
Huang's resignation
The revelations have caused a stunning fall from grace for Jensen Huang, who was once one of the richest people on Earth.
His resignation from Nvidia comes as the company faces intense scrutiny over the alleged $7.5 billion operation.
