Alice Huang: Nvidia scandal figure under US investigation

Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, is a Chinese businesswoman under US investigation for allegedly passing secrets to Beijing while developing ties with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. She is the controlling shareholder of Singapore-based cloud firm Megaspeed International, an Nvidia partner. Huang previously held senior roles at Shanghai Hexi Investment Management and worked at HSBC's private bank and CITIC Securities. She became Megaspeed's controlling shareholder in March 2023. US authorities suspect Megaspeed helped Chinese customers obtain advanced Nvidia chips subject to export controls, though no violation has been publicly established. Nvidia's board has launched an independent investigation into the reports, saying it has no reason to believe national security information was compromised. Jensen Huang acknowledged being unfaithful to his wife but denied knowing Huang was a spy. President Trump said he believes the CEO's denial.
