Nvidia and its CEO Jensen Huang have endured a tumultuous week, as the company's boss became embroiled in scandal involving a suspected Chinese spy.

Huang admitted to the extramarital affair in an email apology to Nvidia employees on Sunday, saying "I was unfaithful to my wife. My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry."

The story took another turn after the New York Times reported on Wednesday that Huang had a second affair with an executive at Nvidia.
