Megaspeed pledges cooperation in US national security probe tied to Nvidia CEO affair

Megaspeed International, the data center company linked to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's affair, pledged Thursday to cooperate with a U.S. national security investigation. Nvidia's board reportedly met to discuss Huang's future following revelations about his relationship with a former Megaspeed executive suspected of being a Chinese agent. In its first statement since Huang admitted the affair, Singapore-based Megaspeed said it takes compliance with U.S. export control laws "extremely seriously" and committed to working "constructively and transparently" with the U.S. government. The company hired a U.S. law firm to conduct a comprehensive census of its computer chips and verify export controls. The New York Times reported the executive, Alice Huang, was allegedly feeding information to Beijing, prompting President Donald Trump to announce an FBI investigation on Sunday. Megaspeed faced claims last year of illicitly shipping Nvidia chips to China, which it denied. Its assets soared to nearly $3 billion in 2024 from late 2023.
