Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was ousted from his post after reports of two affairs, including one with a woman suspected of spying for China. Huang, one of the three engineers who founded the chipmaker in 1993, had been under intense pressure since Sunday, when he admitted to a romantic relationship with Alice Huang, a former executive at the Singapore-based data center firm Megaspeed International.
