It seems all we ever hear about is paedophiles and sexual abuse..... Consensual affairs seem like a bit of a nothing burger. The drama seems to be about whether secrets were leaked to the Chinese and selling Nvidia cards to China. Other than that, not sure what the excitement is about being involved with an existing Nvidia exec.
One can be allowed a little schadenfreude at a billionaire losing face.

Breaking own company rules, for start.
Then showing how unreliable you really are to be in position of such power, since you can destroy value of the company.

They are firing him before he brings down company with him. Considering NVDA dropped 8.6% after hours, they might be late.
