Nvidia and Jensen Huang sued over alleged ties to suspected Chinese spy

Briefing by News4U · First published 2026-11-10 10:36:24 UTC

Nvidia shareholders filed a proposed class action in federal court in San Jose, California, accusing the company and CEO Jensen Huang of defrauding investors by concealing his alleged relationship with Alice Huang, a former Megaspeed executive whom US authorities have concluded is a Chinese intelligence asset. The suit claims the defendants failed to disclose national security concerns that threatened Nvidia’s reputation and business prospects. Nvidia announced an independent investigation into reports that Huang was the target of a foreign intelligence effort; Huang acknowledged being unfaithful to his wife but did not name the woman. Shares closed down 4.3 percent on Monday, cutting about $190 billion from Nvidia’s market value. [1] [2] [3] [4]
