Firm linked to Nvidia spying scandal says suspect left in 2025

Megaspeed International, a Singapore-based cloud computing firm and major Nvidia customer, says suspected spy Alice Huang left the company more than a year ago. Megaspeed is under scrutiny regarding the alleged transfer of advanced Nvidia chips to Chinese companies and has announced an internal investigation led by outside lawyers, according to PBS NewsHour.

The scandal has led to the resignation of former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who stepped down from all roles at the company with immediate effect following inquiries from the FBI and Nvidia’s board. The Indian Express reports that Huang admitted to having an affair with Alice Huang, a former top executive at Megaspeed whom US intelligence agencies believe was spying for Chinese intelligence.

According to the Jerusalem Post, members of Congress are planning a potentially bipartisan investigation into the Trump administration's handling of the matter due to national security implications. This includes investigating why Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick did not blacklist companies suspected of smuggling chips to China and why President Donald Trump continued to communicate with Huang after being warned of her alleged recruitment by China’s State Security Ministry.
