Singapore-based cloud computing firm Megaspeed stated on Thursday, Nov. 12, 2026, that it has cooperated with U.S. government inspections and maintains a commitment to export control compliance. The announcement follows reports regarding a relationship between Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and former Megaspeed executive Alice Huang, whom U.S. authorities suspect of being a Chinese spy. Megaspeed CEO and Chairman James Tan Yong Pong said the company has retained an American law firm to conduct a census of its graphics processing units (GPUs) and verify its compliance practices.
The company is currently under investigation by Singapore police for suspected breaches of domestic laws following a U.S. senator’s request for a Commerce Department inquiry into whether Megaspeed diverted Nvidia chips. Singaporean officials confirmed last month that the investigation is ongoing. Nvidia’s board is reportedly discussing whether to remove Jensen Huang as CEO following reports of two extramarital affairs, including the one involving Alice Huang.
Alice Huang, a Chinese businesswoman, previously served as an executive at Megaspeed, which operates subsidiaries in the United States, Australia, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. While Jensen Huang acknowledged being unfaithful to his wife on Sunday, Nov. 8, 2026, he did not provide specific details about the relationship. Beijing has described the spying allegations against Alice Huang as groundless, and she could not be reached for comment.
The scale of the situation involves two technology entities and multiple national jurisdictions. If export control violations are confirmed, Megaspeed could face legal penalties or restrictions on its ability to acquire U.S. technology. For Nvidia, the possible removal of its CEO, Jensen Huang, would represent a change in leadership for the company.
Furthermore, the involvement of the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS)—the agency responsible for enforcing export laws—sets a precedent for how the U.S. monitors its technology in foreign cloud firms. The "comprehensive census" conducted by Megaspeed's retained law firm is intended to determine the location and usage of its chip inventory. What happens next depends on the findings of the Singapore police investigation and the results of the independent audit, with no specific completion dates yet reported.
