Megaspeed Says Alice Huang Quit in 2025, Opens Internal Probe

Singapore-based company Megaspeed, whose former executive Alice Huang is at the center of the scandal that toppled Nvidia chief Jensen Huang, said she left the firm effective August 30, 2025 and has no current role. The company also said it has opened an internal investigation into media reports about its business.

"Ms. Alice Huang officially left Megaspeed effective August 30, 2025 and currently has no role with the Company," Megaspeed said in an emailed statement. It added that it "does not comment on Ms. Huang's personal and private matters."

Why the company is under scrutiny

Jensen Huang resigned as Nvidia CEO on November 12 after reports about his extramarital relationships. He acknowledged being unfaithful to his wife. One relationship was reportedly with an executive who reported directly to him.

Separate reporting said US intelligence officials believe Alice Huang is a Chinese intelligence asset. Reports have also raised concerns about her stakes in Chinese businesses that allegedly benefited Huawei. The Chinese government has dismissed the spying accusation as "nothing but smears against China."

Megaspeed was a major buyer of advanced chips from Nvidia, according to NPR's account of the case. The company has offices in Singapore and Indonesia.

What Megaspeed says it is doing

Megaspeed said it has hired external legal counsel to run a thorough internal investigation into reports about its business, supply chain and global operations. It said the reports were not supported by verifiable evidence.

The company said it would review the reporting and communicate further with stakeholders as appropriate.

It also defended its compliance record. "Megaspeed designs and maintains its global operational and supply-chain control frameworks to comply with all applicable laws and regulatory regimes," it said, including United States export control requirements and local rules in every market where it operates.

A Nvidia partner in the region

Megaspeed describes itself as a "core business partner" of Nvidia's computing power cloud business in the region. Customers rent computing power from Nvidia GPUs, which are specialized chips built to perform many calculations at once.

The firm has faced media and government scrutiny before. The concern was that chips supplied through its business could be redirected to customers in China.

Megaspeed has not said what the investigation will cover beyond the business, supply-chain and operations reports it named, or when it expects to finish.
