Singapore-based Megaspeed said Sunday that Alice Huang left the company in 2025 and that outside lawyers are running an internal investigation. PBS NewsHour carried an Associated Press report on the announcement, which came amid scrutiny of alleged transfers of advanced Nvidia chips to Chinese companies. Megaspeed said Huang left effective Aug. 30, 2025, and has no current role, but that it does not comment on her personal matters. The company said it runs a "legitimate and lawful business" and that media claims about its business, supply chain and operations were "not supported by verifiable evidence," without addressing specific allegations. It also said it had retained external legal counsel and had cooperated with U.S. Commerce Department inspections. Huang, a Chinese businesswoman, drew U.S. national security concerns because of her relationship with former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who stepped down as CEO. Singapore's government said in February 2025 it had opened an investigation into Megaspeed, including possible false declarations about server purchases, and that it had questioned Huang and withheld her passport. It later found insufficient evidence she had committed a crime. An earlier New York Times report said U.S. officials believed she was a Chinese spy, but the Justice Department had not reached a conclusion, and Beijing rejected the allegations as unsubstantiated. The Associated Press could not reach Huang for comment.
