    for which reason? The spy drama? The data centers? Abandoning gamers? Proposing legislation that benefits, solely AI company and potentially China?

    I am not a lawyer but statements from Nvidia from a week ago were clearly false. When this started to come to light, there were official press statements which we now know were known to be false: https://abcnews.com/US/nvidia-responds-report-ceo-allegedly-targeted-chinese-spy/story?id=137704250

    In a statement to ABC News, a Nvidia spokesperson said Jensen Huang “talks with thousands of customer executives every year.”

    “Jensen’s interactions with Ms. Huang are not unusual or unexpected,” the statement read. “Meetings with customers are part of a CEO’s job.”

    At the very least, anyone who bought shares of Nvidia stock after this statement was made and now was deceived by the company’s statements, and is probably going to be part of a class action case.

      Damage control/reducing outrage to a potentially benign thing isn’t misleading unless you can prove that they should have known. It isn’t usual or legal to spy on employees.

    There’s no mention of Huang being put on furlough, if not just outright sacked, and had all his company computer access/accounts revoked pending an investigation.

      The way i see it, there are really only two possible outcomes, either he did divulge secrets to a spy, and that’ll be a big problem for him, or he didn’t divulge any secrets but still shows he got played by a spy. Either way, he’ll probably step down as CEO, but the big issue is there’s no clear line of succession in the org, so it’s all a bit messy.

        You are assuming that he answers to the same legal system as us, which is a fantasy. He’s one of the richest people in the world; only way he goes down is if he screws somebody richer than him.

    What does an internal investigation actually mean and how long does it take?

    I don’t understand, sue NVIDIA for what? Turning a blind eye to smuggling made NVIDIA shareholders money.
