Hope that its ok that I start this as a new thread.
I think that we are just the beginning of unwinding of this ball on string and don't know who or what will be uncovered. This has the hallmarks of a John Le Carre novel.
The count is now up to 3 women that have come forward to having an ongoing affair with Huang. He is currently married.
I'd taken some snippets from the article and added them below.

Huang, the leather-jacket-clad CEO of the world’s most important chipmaker, resigned from Nvidia on Thursday after revelations that he had an affair with a suspected Chinese spy. But the spy saga is gripping Washington, and lawmakers are preparing for investigations into how the now-ex-CEO’s affair may have damaged U.S. artificial intelligence dominance, the national security implications and the executive’s close relationship with President Donald Trump and his Cabinet.
“In this environment where there’s some really high stakes when it comes to our national security, I would expect there would be some follow-up, yeah,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., told reporters at the Capitol on Thursday.
Huang and the woman with whom he reportedly had a relationship, Alice Huang, an executive at the Singaporean technology company Megaspeed and an alleged Chinese spy have drawn congressional attention. And Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has drawn fire after reports this week that he stalled President Donald Trump’s crackdowns on firms routing Nvidia chips to China.
The New York Times reported on Monday that Nvidia’s general counsel, Tim Teter, claimed in emails to Commerce investigators probing Alice Huang’s company that he’d been in touch with Jeffrey Kessler, who leads BIS. The Commerce investigation into Megaspeed, which allegedly smuggled restricted chips to China, was then transferred to the Justice Department.
“From an intelligence committee perspective, you can imagine from an AI perspective, how important this is for our national security, for our critical infrastructure and understand when it comes to chip policy, what exactly got to China and ... did Megaspeed divert chips?” Gottheimer said.
The calls for immediate investigation into Huang and Nvidia on the day of his resignation represent a stunning fall from grace in the halls of power for the former CEO. Huang was one of the most effective voices for the AI industry in Washington — able to toggle between leveraging his relationship with Trump and defending his industry from fears about AI’s risks to lawmakers.
Huang has repeatedly resisted export controls publicly, a move that has rubbed some lawmakers the wrong way.
