Nvidia 'honeytrap' shows the power of sexpionage

Along with status and prestige, those who reach the top in politics or the military can expect another, less widely advertised perk: a seemingly inexhaustible supply of tempting sexual offers. But this is not merely another example of power being an aphrodisiac. Indeed, those attracting the most romantic attention are the ones who can least afford to indulge in it. That's because some of these would-be lovers are digging not for gold, but for something infinitely more valuable: intelligence. Reports alleging that Nvidia chief Jensen Huang may have had a romantic relationship with a woman recruited to spy for China are a reminder that the age-old honeytrap remains as irresistible to the governments deploying it as to the unsuspecting marks who fall into it.
