Did Ego Blind Jensen Huang to a Suspected Spy? Ask an Ex-FBI Counterintel Behavior Chief

Jensen Huang admitted in a memo to Nvidia employees that he had been unfaithful to his wife, and reports say the woman was Alice Huang, whom U.S. intelligence reportedly concluded was a Chinese intelligence asset. Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins me to get at how a man this sharp at work gets into this kind of mess in his personal life.

Robin led the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program and spent years recruiting and working with sources. Alice Huang, also called Huang Le, had been a top executive at Megaspeed, a Singapore buyer of billions of dollars in Nvidia chips. Nvidia's board has brought in outside lawyers, and China calls the reports groundless speculation.

Robin and I talk about whether ego can keep a brilliant man from seeing who someone really is, and why a man with money, power and praise can still be drawn to someone new. I ask how a business relationship makes it easier to get close to someone powerful, and whether a spy can fall for the person she's supposed to be using. We finish with what a coworker can do when something about a new relationship doesn't add up.

Alice Huang hasn't responded to requests for comment, and no one has been charged.
