The FBI conducts its own probe of allegations involving Alice Huang
BBC News reported that Nvidia has hired the New York law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz to investigate Jensen Huang’s relationship with Alice Huang. Huang co-founded Nvidia and has led the company to become one of the most valuable in the world.
On Tuesday, Nvidia said Wachtell attorney Joon Kim was set to lead “a thorough and independent investigation” into the affair.
Huang admitted that he had a romantic relationship with Alice Huang outside his marriage.
BBC News reported that Alice Huang is alleged to be a spy for Beijing. Alice Huang is an executive at Megaspeed, a Singaporean company that has been a customer of Nvidia.
The FBI is also conducting its own probe, according to BBC News. That inquiry is separate from the law-firm investigation hired by Nvidia.
Kim is a former US Attorney for New York’s Southern District and spent several years working as a government attorney focused on fraud and other criminal acts.
Wachtell is one of the largest law firms in the United States and has notable technology clients including OpenAI and Salesforce.
Nvidia’s outside-law-firm review and the FBI’s separate probe are the two investigative tracks at issue. Kim will lead Nvidia’s review, while the FBI continues its inquiry into the allegations.
