Guess I am weird. Who the fuck cares where his weenie goes long as he runs the company well?

Edit: between him and his wife. Should be of no concern to anyone else.

    It's not that they were doing it, although the affair angle with a spy will get press.

    It's more that he was working with her to smuggle GPU units to China, in flagrant violation of export controls.

    Estimates are that 20% of corporate revenue was from smuggling.

    Bonus: With his influence in the Trump administration, Nvidia worked to quash investigations into doing exactly that.

    It's not that he fucked, it's who he fucked. You don't fuck a spy for the country you are banned from selling the newest shit to.

    I think it is more a case of, it showed that there is still a weak link in all of this and it is not technological.

    I don't care about this kind of gossip level junk, but this for once has potential blow backs. Not that I really care about that either.
