alt Hacker News> Nvidia is doing an investigation of Jensen Huang being targeted in an intelligence operation
The Board has launched an investigation of its CEO. This is how it’s being branded.
If you’re just coöperating with law enforcement, all assuredly on one team, you don’t launch a Board investigation, you let your CEO and an outside law firm handle it.

> The NVIDIA Board is initiating an independent investigation in light of recent reporting that founder and CEO Jensen Huang has been the target of a foreign intelligence effort.
This is the exact wording. Nowhere do they say they are investigating the CEO. They are investigating an incident, and the CEO is part of it.
Here's the vastly more sensible title from WSJ: "Nvidia’s Board to Investigate Reports That Jensen Huang Was Spying Target"
This is completely false. The board has a fiduciary duty to conduct an independent investigation. It is completely routine.
