I don't see why him having an affair is an issue. Isn't that his personal life? Unless it was confirmed that as part of the affair he was doing some activities that would affect his business or customers, this just seems to be at the same level as celebrity gossip. Which I guess is what it is.

    First one is national security because she could be getting chips for China. Second is conflict of interest because she's an executive at Nvidia and it is explicitly forbidden in the contract

    as a CEO of a company you are the figurehead.

    this means if you're found cheating on your spouse, it's likely that you are untrustworthy and cheating on business deals as well.

    since this was an affair from within the company, whose to say that it hasn't caused a conflict of interest that has caused monetary losses to shareholders. IE; maybe she was terrible at her job and he kept her around just to keep fucking her.

    point is, when you're running a multibillion dollar company it's a wise choice to hire an escort discretely instead of fucking your employees.
