alt Hacker NewsJensen's not coming back anytime soon. You can disregard/diminish the affairs, and you can believe that the "spy" angle is overblown/wrong.
But Jensen Huang has admitted to a longstanding affair with the CEO of a company that appears to exist only to evade ITAR restrictions. It's just impossible to believe that Jensen did not know what MegaSpeed was doing. While by all appearances he facilitated and benefited from it personally.
And one can also believe that ITAR restrictions on GPU sales are dumb, but evading them still counts as selling sensitive weapons to the enemy, both legally and politically.

Bloomberg reported on the discrepancies re: MegaSpeed. Hard to imagine that the press could know, but not Jensen.
This is the biggest issue to me. Affairs are a personal matter between his family and his wife. And when they involve subordinates, his company. But what is absolutely unacceptable is knowingly engaging in a continued relationship with a Chinese spy. He had to have known that Singapore confiscated her passport, and I'm sure he brought it up. There are very few reasons why a country would confiscate your passport.
Also, both the company she was "CEO" of and her path to that role are so shady that it's unbelievable that it even worked. Though it seems it did to a point.
Anyways, I think he knew; or at least suspected it and kept going.
