Megaspeed, a Singapore-based data center and AI computing company, is under investigation in the United States over alleged smuggling of Nvidia chips into China, and the company denies wrongdoing. The US probe began in 2024 under the Commerce Department and has since passed to the Justice Department, according to the New York Times. Singapore police are also investigating whether the company violated local laws, and Megaspeed says it has seen no evidence of illicit chip transfers. Alice H., a former Megaspeed managing director accused of being a Chinese spy, had an affair with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, and the Financial Times reported she used her access to pitch AI chip deals to Chinese investors. Nvidia has now hired a major New York law firm to investigate the affair, and Nvidia said in December 2025 that its own inquiry found no evidence of diversion.
