Alice Huang is reportedly connected to a web of Chinese companies, which then leveraged her closeness to Jensen Huang to gain access to billions of dollars' worth of Nvidia GPUs.
It already is. Bloomberg is reporting that NVIDIA’s top lawyer pulled strings in the Trump administration to muzzle an investigation into the chip exports. More rich people looking out for other rich people, ignoring their own rules when it’s inconvenient.
The silver lining is that Jason Huang reportedly has no prenup with his wife, so if she divorces him for cheating she’ll take half of his $155B fortune. It’s the only substantial punishment that anyone in this story is likely to receive. Everyone else will be pardoned or quietly moved out of harm’s way.
Why do people bring up the prenup thing? It’s completely and utterly irrelevant.
They got married 8 years before Nvidia was created. Even if they had a prenup, it would have never covered anything from Nvidia anyway, because Nvidia didn’t exist prior to their nuptials. Prenups do not apply to assets gained after the marriage comes in force. Those are always marital assets. Any prenup that tries to protect new assets gained during the marriage wouldn’t be enforceable.
They didn’t have a prenup because at the time they married, and years into it, she actually made more money than he did because she was a more experienced chip designer and worked at AMD. She financially supported him and their family in the early days after he left his paying job to start Nvidia, and she gave design ideas for some of their early chips.
Actually not true-- it depends on whats written in the prenup. Prenups can absolutely include agreements around future income and assets, designating them as non marital assets.

Schadenfreude. The thought that a multi-billionaire might face some kind of consequences, even if they remain a multi-billionaire.
I get that, but it literally doesn’t apply.
Prenup or not, they were married before Nvidia existed. She’s getting that money no matter what. It’s marital assets.
The prenup is wholly irrelevant, so bringing it up just shows ignorance in the form of overconfidence.
Wild that losing half your fortune still leaves you with 77 billion fucking dollars.

Only for gains on assets that already existed prior to the marriage. Like if he owned Nvidia first, he could prenup gains from Nvidia.
You cannot prenup nonexistent assets.
