That he conspired to smuggle NVIDIA GPUs into China to bypass a US embargo working with the Chinese government via a spy (either willingly or via blackmail). Impropriety adds insult to injury - the board have rightly seen that the market will view it more negatively if he stays than if he leaves.

> Because he cheated on his wife??

And a lot of other shady things around nvidia, half of it we probably will never know about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H3xQaf7BFI

Cheated on his wife with a spy who was using her connection to Jensen to move GPUs into China through Singapore in breach of the export controls.

The cheating is just a bit of humiliation, the damning part is the knowingly circumvention of export controls.

Nvidia bulls are still processing

the impending investigation regarding the sanctions might have more to do with it, to be honest.

It's only been like a year since the last CEO resigned for viral infidelity.

And that was only with a subordinate, not a subordinate AND with a foreign spy (alleged). Reports say China got billions in chips imported thanks to this operation.

Politicians also drop like flies. The only person impervious to consequences has been Trump. None of his supporters care that he's the devil.

No, it's because he repeatedly lied. 20% of the company's profits were/are coming from selling sanctioned chips to China and he said 0% 0% 0% (in official filings)

The news made it sound like she was a sophisticated person using him as a simpleton, but if anything he was using her to move his products against sanctions.

...with an actual spy.
