Singapore Investigates Megaspeed After New Links to Nvidia Chief Emerge

Singaporean regulators are investigating Megaspeed International, a computing company that appears on Nvidia's website as a partner. The probe follows fresh reporting that links Megaspeed former director Alice Huang to Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang.

The New York Times reported over the past month that a memo informed senior U.S. policymakers of intelligence suggesting Huang Le, also known as Alice Huang, was recruited by China’s Ministry of State Security. The memo alleged the goal was to influence Nvidia to expand Chinese access to its most advanced chips. The duration of the reported relationship between Huang and the Nvidia executive remains unclear.

Corporate records show the Singapore-based business was incorporated in 2015 as 7Road International. It changed its name to Megaspeed International in March 2023. At that time, shares were transferred to Huang Le Limited, a company registered in the British Virgin Islands. Research firm C4ADS identified Huang as the controlling shareholder during that period.

By November 2023, company records no longer listed Huang as a director. Her shares had moved to Singaporean businessman Tan Yong Pong, also known as James Tan. However, a May 2026 report by short seller Culper Research quoted a Megaspeed employee who described Huang as "actually still our boss." The employee said she remained involved in daily operations.

Megaspeed faced U.S. scrutiny in 2025 over allegations that it circumvented export restrictions. The company claimed it routed advanced Nvidia chips to Chinese users in violation of rules. Megaspeed denied the accusations late in that year, stating there was no evidence of illicit chip transfers or other illegal activity.

Singapore’s government announced in late October 2026 that authorities were investigating Megaspeed following the new intelligence allegations. The government said it does not condone companies bypassing other nations' export controls. Officials added that no investigations had been conducted concerning Huang herself.

China’s Foreign Ministry rejected the spy claims this week. Officials called the allegation "unsubstantiated" and described it as "nothing but smears against China." Megaspeed did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Alice Huang worked at HSBC and CITIC Securities before entering the technology sector. She also held senior roles at Shanghai Hexi Investment Co. from 2015 to 2017.
