IT之家 November 13 news, according to a Semafor report on November 12 local time, multiple investigations being conducted by the U.S. Department of Justice may include NVIDIA within their scope.
Two U.S. government officials revealed that, as the chain reactions triggered by former NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang's resignation continue to unfold, multiple investigations by the U.S. Department of Justice involving NVIDIA, Megaspeed, and Supermicro are currently moving forward.
Among them, one investigation directly targets NVIDIA and focuses on antitrust issues. The other two investigations involve the tech companies Megaspeed and Supermicro, respectively, with a focus that includes activities related to Alice Huang.
Semafor noted that there is currently no indication that the U.S. Department of Justice plans to criminally prosecute NVIDIA or Jensen Huang. At this stage, the antitrust investigation into NVIDIA and the other two investigations involving Megaspeed and Supermicro are separate matters, and it cannot be concluded from this that NVIDIA was involved in the conduct at issue in the latter two investigations. NVIDIA and a spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Justice both declined to comment on the report.
Previously, Jensen Huang formally resigned from the position of NVIDIA CEO, and NVIDIA CFO Colette Kress will temporarily serve as CEO.
