Megaspeed says Alice Huang left firm amid chip transfer inquiry

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 15 Nov, 14:01 · Archive

Singapore cloud computing company Megaspeed said Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang left in August 2025 as it faces scrutiny over alleged illegal Nvidia chip transfers.

Megaspeed International said that Alice Huang, whose relationship with former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang raised U.S. national security concerns, left the company last year. The Singapore-based cloud computing company also announced it has retained external legal counsel to conduct a thorough internal investigation.

Megaspeed faces scrutiny from U.S. authorities over allegations that it circumvented export restrictions to route advanced Nvidia chips to Chinese companies. In December, the company stated there was no evidence of illicit chip transfers. The company told the Associated Press it runs a legitimate and lawful business and disputed media reports about its supply chain and operations, saying claims were not supported by verifiable evidence.

Singapore's government disclosed Thursday that it initiated an investigation into Megaspeed in February 2025, including possible false declarations regarding server purchases. Authorities also investigated Huang, identified as the company's then-CEO, chairperson and a key controller. Singaporean authorities questioned her and withheld her passport. They later concluded there was insufficient evidence she had committed a crime, though they suspected she had provided inaccurate information to downplay her role at the company.
