Apart from his direct family, who cares? Why is this an issue? It's 2026, we literally had a human child trafficking ring with multiple presidents involved and it didnt lead to anything or move the needle on stuff.

The leader of the central company in the AI boom was compromised by a spy from the US’s biggest adversary while US and Chinese companies are in an AI arms race.

Would that count?

It’s an issue because for some reason the US intelligence agency decided to go public with this and then the newspapers started running with it.

This letter is just part of the ceremony of events that is expected to happen afterwards.

I'm a shareholder, and the fact that both the US government and Nvidia itself is going to investigate him is very, very bad. So yes, I care about it a lot because I'm probably going to lose a lot of money tomorrow!

It's an issue, but vastly over stated in the press.

Why does it matter that one of the key leaders of our aI strategy was having an affair with a Chinese spy while advising the president on our policy of selling chips to China?

The investors probably care. If you’ll lie to your wife to get laid, you might also lie to your investors to get paid.

Integrity matters for maintaining corporate secrets. Someone who is having an extramarital affair is a target for blackmail. Most of getting a security clearance is not lying.

She was also a Chinese spy.

He admitted to the affair. No one has admitted to being a pedo. Much less forgivable.
