I don’t want to gawk over someone else’s love life (and their failings). That’s none of anyone’s business but theirs.
The issue with the first affair is what laws he broke… though I would argue the GPU export restrictions were pointless anyway, and the U.S. feds would be stupid to enforce them now, after they clearly did not work.
The following types of activities may create a conflict of interest: › Advisory roles or board seat participation › Outside employment or consulting › Self-employment or volunteering (Inventions or app development, speaking or publishing opportunities, teaching or research at a university level or higher, game development) › Investments or personal relationships.
It’s not… particularly explicit about this, but it does feel like conflict-of-interest if she reports to Jensen.
I think you’ve got it backwards. There’s no evidence that he broke any laws with the first affair, and no evidence that she was even a spy, so that one could have been just a regular affair.

As someone who’s incorporated in Singapore she’s 100% a spy or useful “partner of the state”. That’s the entire reason Singapore exists and everybody knows this - it’s a tax haven and legal obfuscation state. The problem is exactly that it’s not illegal in any way and it’s in everyone’s best interest to keep SG the way it is.
Remember tiktok’s CEO’s “I’m Singaporean, senator” and how behind closed doors us senators deemed tiktok a national threat. Yeah that’s all on SG incorporation that americans themselves use for their spy operations - everybody loves eating this cake and nobody will ever ruin it. This is why SG is the most stable “country” in SEA.
