Yes, one investigation begets others. Also, high profile witnesses come forward voluntarily once the screen is lifted on any unrelated investigation, but not typically before.
Are you serious? He had multiple affairs is what's going on. Including one with a spy. And people who wouldn't be believed before are now coming forward.
There's probably some mildly interesting risk-balancing that happened behind the scenes because the intel community apparently knew mid-2026 and only spilled the beans now, but this is entirely of Jensen's own doing. He confessed.
He clearly is a top performer, though, managing four-plus relationships is a big job.
This happens all the time with news stories and doesn't require conspiracy theories. Once an initial story breaks, other journalists investigate (if they weren't already). No doubt Nvidia started investigating internally and employees will have leaked the findings.
There isn't really even any point in this third story from the point of view of any "coordinated attack". He's already resigned.
Correlation isn’t causation always. Once there’s a scandal, more people start digging, and the more they dig, the more they find. The news cycle continues rewarding more information, so you keep getting more.
That's because it is. This is the worst case of a classic blackmail operation against Jensen and it is highly co-ordinated with major news outlets like the NYT, WSJ, The Economist and FT.
Someone powerful or a group of people did not want open weight AI models and Nvidia GPUs being accessible or sold in China and either:
1) Wanted him (Jensen) to stop selling GPUs in China and had his affairs recorded and used as dirt against him as selling GPUs into China also threatened the AI labs.
2) Insiders (and spies) used the affairs against Jensen to knowingly smuggle Nvidia GPUs into China from Singapore (despite the export issue) with too many of them that knew, and that leaked to the wrong person.
Not even China wants Nvidia GPUs and urges chinese AI companies to use homegrown Huawei GPUs. The chinese AI labs still choose Nvidia GPUs over Huawei anyway.

Jensen was already being blackmailed by the Trump administration for the past year, which Trump all but admits openly here:
@24:20 if the link doesn't maintain the timestamp on your platform.
He doesn't name Jensen, but in hindsight with everything that has come out (including information on the timing of the Rubio memo) he is obviously talking about him and threatening him with jail to become a yes-man, and Jensen complied.
So IMO the real question isn't who was blackmailing Jensen (we know that), the question is: when he was already complying with blackmail for a year, who decided to burn him as an asset? Did it come from the people who were blackmailing him, or an external source? And who gains/loses by the loss of leverage they already had on him?
A shell game. This is the distraction portion. Then comes the switch, the reveal and the swipe. Watch the market indicators. Nobody buying and selling shares in a trillion-dollar company cares one iota about extramarital affairs. Something else is happening.
They might not care about affairs, but they are probably interested in the possibility that Nvidia circumvented US export controls, is being covertly influenced by China, and so on
To a certain point I don't really care about how many subordinates it ends up being (something tells me there are more), but it does make all of the grindset quotes CEOs like Huang barf up all the more laughable.

A lot of people have said Nvidia are crazy to get rid of Huang, that he's a singular irreplaceable talent. What if, perhaps, he's not all he's made out to be?
in all seriousness though, what is going on? everything here feels well timed and coordinated. were the powers that be just waiting for US midterms to pass? is there any relationship to the anthropic IPO? my tin foil hat is going to be working overtime these next few days
If you find two ants in the kitchen, there are more than two ants in the kitchen.
If the ant in your kitchen IPOs the same day you are evicted from your kitchen, the spies in your kitchen are not Chinese.
listening to the verge?
> If you find two ants in the kitchen, there are more than two ants in the kitchen.
And Jensen Huang may have had an improper relationship with at least one of them.
This seems like a coordinated hit, slowly releasing more and more information. What's really going on?
One affair always brings up other affairs out of the closet. Same rule goes for harassment and abuse claims.
That’s what is going on.
The better metaphor is "where there's smoke, there's fire."
Three different news orgs have reported the different affairs.

A lesson, apparently, for everyone asking "what the big deal is".
If ever you wanted to understand the meaning of the word "liability", here it is.
"Coordinated hits", as you put it, have as their prerequisite the creation of a "liability".
Journalism plus circumstances loosening tongues and reducing the downside of being truthful.
As the British police are fond of saying in cold case appeals: allegiances shift.
Dont mess up with the intelligence community. He should have talked more to Jack Ma.

As it turns out, Huang was a fallible human being.
It sounds like it’s a bad idea to have a single fallible human be “the face of the AI book powering the US economy” as the NYTimes is calling Jensen.
So is Musk. So were Gates and Bezos
Almost like being a billionaire requires being a terrible person willing to take advantage of others to get ridiculously too far ahead.

I would if he went to bed everything realizing this is how it could all end?
feel bad for his wife man, has to be rough to keep seeing this
TIL: True monogamy only appears in 3-5% of mammals in the animal kingdom.
That is it...I am buying a leather jacket!
You also need employees.
and revenue. don't forget the revenue.
Maybe aging to 60+ won't be that bad? Thank you Jensen for showing younger men there is hope.
Step 1: Be a famous Billionaire CEO.
Buy a brown one
I don't who the 3rd affair will be with, but the 4th one will be with sticks and stones
:)

Amateur. Tiger Woods had at least 9 extramarital affairs.
stop it!! he's already dead!!

Plenty of benign explanations without needing tinfoil
- The affair(s) were so badly hidden that they became obvious once one was exposed
- High profile CEO of one of the biggest companies in the world means a lot of eyes
- something akin to the Streisand effect keeps things in the news cycle
Yeah, hundreds of reporters suddenly being interested in the story after the initial news broke shines a lot more lights on things.
The initial story about the spy dropped on October 29th, before the midterms.
At that point it was probably just a matter of time until the rest came out.
One affair is a scandal.
Two affairs is a pattern.
Three affairs is just funny.
Bill Gates had a similar pattern
One relationship per GPU core.
There are memes about... running SLI <wink wink nudge nudge>
And frankly at this point, where nothing surprises you anymore we should probably just enjoy some stupid pictures with captions
I can't believe Jensen Huang popped the AI bubble with his d*ck...
There are three "I"s in NVIDIA (latin)
These AI slop chinese soap-operas are so good...
