Wasn't exactly NVIDIA, but an employee from another company who was hired by NVIDIA. Whether NVIDIA asked the employee to steal for them will probably determine how deep in hot water they are.

Even if they didn't ask him to do it, if he instantly produced a truckload of code they knew where it came from and that it was illegally obtained.
