Nvidia's independent directors have hired a former prosecutor and a top Wall Street law firm to investigate the Jensen Huang incident.

BlockBeats news, November 11 — Following an investigation announced by its board on Sunday, Nvidia issued a statement on November 10, Eastern Time, confirming that it has retained Joon H. Kim, former Acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and his new firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz to conduct a "comprehensive, independent investigation" into the matter involving CEO Jensen Huang.

The board also stated that there is currently no reason to believe that the company's confidential information has been affected, and Jensen Huang himself has expressed support for the investigation and pledged to cooperate.

Public information shows that Joon H. Kim served as Acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York (SDNY is the most prestigious federal prosecutor's office in the United States, commonly known as the "Sovereign District") from 2017 to 2018, overseeing more than 220 assistant U.S. attorneys, with jurisdiction over cases involving economic espionage, theft of trade secrets, sanctions violations, and cybercrime.

In March 2021, at the assignment of New York State Attorney General Letitia James, he and Anne Clark jointly conducted an independent investigation into the sexual harassment case involving Governor Cuomo — shortly after the investigation report was released, Cuomo resigned in August 2021. In December 2023, he was again commissioned by the Special Review Committee of the FDIC Board of Directors to independently investigate allegations of harassment and discrimination within the agency.
