Megaspeed says Alice Huang left in 2025 as it opens internal investigation

The Singapore-based cloud computing company said Alice Huang officially left on 30 August 2025 and has no current role there. It has also appointed external lawyers to conduct an internal investigation.

Megaspeed, an Nvidia customer and business partner, has faced scrutiny over allegations that it helped Chinese companies obtain advanced chips subject to US export controls. Reuters reported that the company has not been found to have violated the rules.

In a statement to the Associated Press, Megaspeed said it conducts legitimate and lawful business and that some claims about its operations and supply chain were not supported by verifiable evidence. The news agency said the company did not address specific allegations.

A report published in May 2026 by short seller Culper Research cited an unnamed Megaspeed employee who said Alice Huang remained involved in daily operations. Culper had bet against Nvidia’s shares. The account concerns possible involvement after her reported formal departure; it does not establish her current role.

Alice Huang’s relationship with former Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang has drawn attention amid reports of US national security concerns. Jensen Huang resigned as chief executive on Thursday, after Nvidia had launched an independent investigation into reports that he was targeted by a foreign intelligence effort.

The New York Times reported that US officials believed Alice Huang was a Chinese spy. US Attorney General Todd Blanche said on Thursday that the Justice Department had not reached a conclusion on that question. China has rejected the allegation.

Separately, Singapore’s home affairs ministry said police and customs had begun an investigation in February 2025 into Megaspeed and other companies over possible false declarations relating to server purchases. The ministry said the investigation into Megaspeed was continuing as of 12 November 2026.

Singapore authorities concluded in February 2026 that there was insufficient evidence that Alice Huang had committed offences relating to the possible inaccurate declarations. Police assessed that she had knowingly given inaccurate information to downplay her role at Megaspeed, the ministry said; she was given a stern warning and barred from re-entering Singapore. The ministry said she was not investigated there for espionage.
