Telegram CEO Pavel Durov’s Remarks About Asian ‘Honeypots’ Draw Online Backlash
Durov mocked the scandal as a spy-game joke after reports said U.S. agencies believed a Chinese national passed information to Beijing.
- On Wednesday, Telegram CEO Pavel Durov mocked the Nvidia scandal on Twitter, joking that "CEOs who aren't into Asian girls get fewer dating options from spy agencies" while questioning why French, Russian, or Iranian intelligence haven't targeted him.
- Durov's comments followed Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's November 8 admission of an affair with Alice Huang, a Megaspeed executive whom American intelligence officials allege was recruited by the Chinese Ministry of State Security to access confidential information.
- Megaspeed currently faces accusations of smuggling $2 billion in AI chips, while the 63-year-old executive remains married to Lori Huang for 41 years; Nvidia has established an independent board committee to investigate.
- House Select Committee on China chairman John Moolenaar and two other committee chairs requested a closed-door briefing with Huang on November 18 in Room 2172 of the Rayburn House Office Building.
- Beijing has dismissed the honeypot allegations as a "smear campaign," while Nvidia faces a class-action lawsuit; the intelligence recruitment claims remain unindependently established, complicating efforts to determine what information may have been compromised.
