Megaspeed Launches Internal Probe, Says Alice Huang Left in 2025
Megaspeed hired outside counsel to probe reports on its business and said former executive Alice Huang left in August 2025, as U.S. intelligence officials reportedly believe she is a Chinese intelligence asset.
Correction: Added CNBC report details: U.S. intelligence officials believe Alice Huang is a Chinese intelligence asset per The New York Times, Megaspeed describes itself as a core business partner of Nvidia's cloud business, its statement that media reports lack verifiable evidence, and its compliance statement.
Megaspeed, the Singapore-based cloud computing company that calls itself a core business partner of Nvidia's computing power cloud business in the region, told CNBC on Sunday that former executive Alice Huang left the company on August 30, 2025 and that it has launched an internal probe into media reports about its business and supply chain.
The company said it has retained external legal counsel to conduct a thorough internal investigation into reporting concerning its business, supply chain and global operations, which it said are not supported by verifiable evidence. Megaspeed added that it designs and maintains its global operational and supply-chain control frameworks to comply with all applicable laws and regulatory regimes, including United States export control requirements and local jurisdiction rules in every market where it operates.
Megaspeed has faced heightened scrutiny since former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said he had been unfaithful to his wife following reports linking him to Alice Huang. Jensen Huang resigned as CEO of Nvidia on November 12 amid fallout from reports about his extramarital relationships. U.S. intelligence officials believe Alice Huang is a Chinese intelligence asset, according to The New York Times.
Megaspeed said in an emailed statement shared with CNBC that Alice Huang officially left the company effective August 30, 2025 and currently has no role with the company. Megaspeed does not comment on Huang's personal and private matters, it added.
The company, which has offices in Singapore and Indonesia, has previously faced media and government scrutiny over whether chips supplied through its business were redirected to customers in China. It said it will review the reporting and communicate further with stakeholders as appropriate.
Nvidia (NVDA) shares were down 2.01% in delayed trading at $162.85.
What remains unclear
Megaspeed did not specify which media reports it disputes, and the scope and timeline of the internal investigation were not disclosed. Whether the probe will address the allegations about chip redirection to China was not stated. Nvidia has not commented on the matter.
