00:01NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang resigns Thursday, November 12, after reports said he had two extramarital affairs, including with a suspected
00:09spy for China.
00:10This also follows reports the NVIDIA board was about to decide whether to oust him in the wake of the
00:16scandal.
00:17NVIDIA did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the board meeting.

00:29more than three decades.
00:30The company's share slid about 8% in after-hours trading after the Wall Street Journal first reported that NVIDIA
00:36was preparing to oust Huang.
00:39Reports revealed Huang's relationship with Alice Huang, a woman whom U.S. intelligence said was involved in facilitating shipments of
00:45NVIDIA chips to Chinese firms.
00:47The New York Times also reports Wednesday, Huang also had an extramarital affair with NVIDIA's vice president of healthcare, Kimberly
00:55Powell.
00:56NVIDIA and Powell did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
