Megaspeed Confirms Alice Huang Left Company in August 2025 Amid Scandal
Megaspeed announced Alice Huang left the company in August 2025, amidst concerns over her ties to former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.
SINGAPORE, Nov 15: Megaspeed reported that Alice Huang officially left the company on August 30, 2025. This announcement follows scrutiny surrounding her connections to Jensen Huang, the former CEO of Nvidia, amid national security concerns.
The Singapore-based company stated on November 15, 2026, that Huang currently has no role at Megaspeed. In its statement, the company clarified, “Megaspeed does not comment on Ms. Huang’s personal and private matters.” It acknowledged media reports making unverified claims about its business and global operations.
Huang has drawn significant attention due to her alleged ties to Jensen Huang, who resigned from Nvidia after reports of his compromising relationships surfaced. Megaspeed, the largest buyer of Nvidia chips in Southeast Asia, has faced questions about potential violations of US export restrictions.
In light of these concerns, Megaspeed has launched an internal investigation and retained external legal counsel. The firm emphasized that it conducts legitimate business and adheres to all applicable laws, including US export controls.
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent criticized the Commerce Department for its oversight of Nvidia’s chip exports and indicated that some agencies had considered placing Megaspeed on an entity list. Such a designation would restrict US trade with the company.
Concerns also persist that Megaspeed may have facilitated backdoor access to Nvidia’s advanced chips for Chinese firms through its data centers located in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand. While Singapore does not strictly enforce foreign export controls, it expects compliance with relevant regulations, according to its government.
China has refuted claims that Alice Huang is a spy, cautioning the US against using the situation as a reason to impose restrictions on AI technology. Megaspeed reiterated its commitment to complying with local laws and regulations in all operational markets.
