According to foreign media reports, on November 12 local time, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang will lose approximately $108 million in unvested equity awards after his departure. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, this award accounts for about 0.07% of his personal net worth.The report pointed out that according to NVIDIA's equity compensation policy, unvested restricted stock units will be forfeited when executives leave. Jensen Huang currently holds about 346,000 such units.

According to The Information, sources say that with Jensen Huang's departure, an anonymous executive from a cloud service provider that is purchasing NVIDIA chips revealed that the company is considering sourcing alternative chips from companies like Google and AMD.The executive stated that the company had previously considered diversifying suppliers but was concerned about offending Jensen Huang.

Renowned investor Duan Yongping stated that Jensen Huang's departure may be the final decision made by NVIDIA's board of directors. In the short term, it will not affect NVIDIA's business, but whether it can maintain its competitive advantage in the coming years depends on finding a suitable successor CEO. Jensen Huang is diligent and has a forward-looking perspective on the development of the AI industry, making it challenging to find a successor with these qualities.Duan Yongping mentioned that NVIDIA's business model heavily relies on an excellent management team. If the capabilities and execution of the management team cannot be maintained, the company's competitiveness in the next 3 to 5 years may be impacted. However, the AI industry is still in its early stages, and it is expected to maintain good growth momentum over the next decade. Regarding the possibility of Jensen Huang returning in the future, Duan Yongping stated that if the reasons for his departure still exist, it is highly likely that Jensen Huang will not return as CEO. However, NVIDIA may also consider inviting him to serve in advisory roles or similar positions, allowing him to continue exerting influence in a shadow CEO capacity, but without formal signing responsibilities. Relevant arrangements may not have clear conclusions before the end of the hearing, and the final outcome may still require some time to wait.

The U.S. Department of Justice has stated that it is working with the two largest stablecoin issuers globally to attempt to recover nearly half of the stolen funds from the Binance hacking incident. In this attack, hackers stole over $6 billion in assets from the Binance cryptocurrency exchange.The U.S. Department of Justice has obtained court authorization to seize or restrict the disposal of $1.2 billion from the $2.7 billion that Tether and Circle Internet Group immediately froze following the hacking incident on October 29. Investigators are still tracking the remaining funds. The Federal Bureau of Investigation refers to the related hacking group as TraderTraitor, which is currently attempting to transfer and launder the stolen assets through cross-chain bridges, mixers, and cryptocurrency exchanges.

The U.S. Department of Justice stated on Thursday that North Korean hackers have stolen over $400 million in cryptocurrency assets through a social engineering scheme based on secretly recorded videos and AI deepfakes over the past 18 months, and announced that it has seized the infrastructure supporting this operation. The FBI refers to this method as "FaceStealer," which centers on turning video conference calls into traps: hackers lure targets into meetings using previously stolen accounts from victims, then play pre-recorded footage of trusted contacts to simulate their presence, thereby gaining the target's trust.The group also uses AI to generate deepfake videos of well-known figures in the cryptocurrency and related industries, making the scams more convincing. Once the target lowers their guard, the attackers create false technical issues, such as claiming the other party cannot hear them, and provide a so-called "fix" link that is actually used to implant malware. Afterward, hackers can empty the victim's wallet or exploit their system permissions, sometimes lying in wait for months or even over a year before taking action. The FBI stated that it has seized over 900 segments of camera footage from FaceStealer victims based on federal search warrants.The Department of Justice linked this operation to North Korean-related groups such as Sapphire Sleet, BlueNoroff, and APT38, warning that these hackers are increasingly targeting open-source software developers, seemingly paving the way for supply chain attacks. On the same day, the Department of Justice also reported progress in the Binance theft case, stating that it has obtained court authorization to seize or restrict over $1.2 billion of the approximately $6.4 billion in stolen assets, which is part of the over $2.7 billion that has already been frozen. The FBI attributes this theft to the North Korean group TraderTraitor and claims it is laundering money at a rate of creating a new wallet approximately every 25 seconds. North Korea denies involvement, stating that the FBI's conclusions are a political provocation.

Joe Flanagan, co-founder of the on-chain asset management platform Maple, announced his decision to leave Maple. He stated that Maple has been the center of his life for the past seven years, and leading and building this company has been his full commitment. His partnership with co-founder Sid Powell has lasted nearly a decade, during which they built a business that he has always been proud of. Over time, their views on strategy, leadership style, and life orientation have gradually diverged, and these differences are no longer beneficial to the team or the business. He believes it is more appropriate for one co-founder to continue leading Maple forward than to allow these differences to persist and widen.Joe Flanagan stated that as a co-founder, he needs to agree with the decisions he has participated in, the direction he asks others to follow, and the choices for which he still needs to be responsible. He mentioned that he can no longer continue to do so with conviction and loyalty to his own values, and therefore chose to leave rather than continue to support a direction he cannot agree with. He will assist with the transition for the remainder of this year and provide support as requested by Sid and the team, after which he will no longer participate in Maple. He also stated that he has not left the industry and is currently formulating his next steps, which he will share more about soon. Maple officially confirmed that Joe Flanagan will step down as chairman and leave the company, describing this as an orderly transition agreed upon by both parties, with the company's direction remaining unchanged; since 2019, he has helped Maple expand its managed assets to $4.8 billion and its loan issuance to $20 billion.
