Jensen Huang’s ‘spy’ mistress had a secret HUSBAND: Nvidia plot thickens as details emerge on lover’s past with financier who fell foul of Chinese authorities
The alleged Chinese spy with whom Nvidia boss Jensen Huang admitted to having an affair was previously in a relationship with a financier ‘husband’ who had been accused of insider trading.
Huang, 63, confessed in a memo to his staff on Sunday to carrying out an affair with a Chinese entrepreneur who has been under investigation for allegedly passing information to Beijing.
It is unclear when the tryst began, but reports now say the entrepreneur, Alice Huang, of no relation to the Nvidia CEO, had earlier been in a romantic relationship with her business associate, Kang Wei.

Kang founded private equity group Hexi Capital in 2010, and Ms Huang joined the company just five years later, according to the Financial Times.
The company now has a range of tech investments, including in the gaming industry and in data centers.
But in 2018, Kang’s firm was fined $2.6 million, with Kang personally fined $60,000 for disclosure violations and illegal trading during a restricted period linked to the takeover of Huiqui Technology, according to documents obtained by the New York Post.
