Deep Tide TechFlow News, March 26 — According to Decrypt, U.S. Federal Judge Haywood S. Gilliam Jr. approved a class-action lawsuit against NVIDIA and its CEO Jensen Huang. The plaintiffs allege that between 2017 and 2018, the companies concealed the extent to which gaming GPU revenue depended on crypto mining demand.

The court found that NVIDIA failed to prove that its statements regarding crypto mining revenue did not impact the stock price, allowing the lawsuit to proceed as a class action. The plaintiffs claim that NVIDIA included over $1 billion in mining-related GPU sales into its gaming segment, deliberately downplaying the scale of crypto mining demand, which led investors to underestimate the company’s exposure to crypto market cycle fluctuations.

Previously, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) fined NVIDIA $5.5 million in 2022 for disclosure violations.
