Megaspeed confirms Alice Huang left company last year amid Nvidia chip scrutiny

Megaspeed International announced Sunday that Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang, whose ties to former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang raised U.S. national security concerns, left the company last year. The Singapore-based cloud computing firm also disclosed an internal investigation led by external lawyers amid scrutiny over alleged advanced Nvidia chip transfers to Chinese companies. Megaspeed said it operates a "legitimate and legal business" and that press reports contain claims "not supported by verifiable evidence." Alice Huang departed effective August 30, 2025, with no current role. Singapore authorities investigated her last year, interrogating her and holding her passport, but found insufficient evidence of a crime despite suspecting inaccurate information about her role. Nvidia announced Thursday that Jensen Huang stepped down as CEO as scrutiny intensified over reports of his romantic relationship with Alice Huang. U.S. officials have not concluded she was a Chinese spy, and Beijing rejected the allegations as unfounded. Megaspeed's assets grew roughly 90-fold from late 2023 to 2024, reaching nearly $3 billion.
