Megaspeed Faces U.S. National Security Probe Over Alleged Restricted Nvidia Chip Shipments to China
Megaspeed International, a Singapore-based cloud computing firm and Nvidia partner, is under investigation by U.S. intelligence regarding its alleged role in facilitating approximately $7.5 billion in restricted Nvidia chip shipments to Chinese firms. The probe centers on the company's former managing director, Alice Huang, who is reportedly accused of being recruited by China's Ministry of State Security to gather information on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. While Megaspeed reported a massive surge in assets to $3 billion in 2024 and revenue of $294 million, the company faces legal scrutiny in Singapore over suspected domestic law breaches. Nvidia's board has launched an internal investigation into whether its CEO was targeted by foreign intelligence operations, though the chipmaker maintains there is no evidence that confidential information or national security has been compromised.
