Nvidia CEO-linked firm pledges cooperation in US national security probe
Megaspeed International pledged Thursday to cooperate with a U.S. national security investigation linked to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's affair with a former executive suspected of being a Chinese agent. Nvidia's board reportedly met to discuss Huang's future, with no outcome announced. The Singapore-based company said it takes U.S. export control laws "extremely seriously" and hired a U.S. law firm to verify its chip exports. Nvidia stated it has "no reason to believe" secrets were compromised. President Donald Trump announced an FBI investigation on Sunday. Megaspeed's assets soared to nearly $3 billion in 2024 from late 2023, with revenue jumping from zero to over $294 million. The company previously denied illicitly shipping Nvidia chips to China, and Beijing denied attempting to ensnare Huang.
