Nvidia 'spy' row: Megaspeed distances itself from Alice Huang after Singapore MHA probe revelation

Singapore-based firm Megaspeed International on Sunday declared that Alice Huang, the Chinese businesswoman and alleged spy at the centre of the Nvidia scandal, had left the company in August 2025.

This comes after Singapore's Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) revealed major details about their probe into Alice Huang's alleged role at Megaspeed in connection with a customs case.

Her role at the centre of the alleged spy plot against Nvidia founder and ex-CEO Jensen Huang grabbed headlines when the latter admitted to his extramarital affair with her, as per a New York Times report.

“Ms. Alice Huang officially left Megaspeed effective August 30, 2025 and currently has no role with the Company ... Megaspeed does not comment on Ms. Huang’s personal and private matters,” the company told CNBC.

Calling itself a "core business partner" of Nvidia, Megaspeed added that recent reports about its business, supply chain and global operations were not supported by verifiable evidence, due to which it is now conducting a “thorough internal investigation" using an external legal team.

How this fits into Singapore's probe timeline

The Singapore Police Force (SPF) and Singapore Customs in February 2025 began their probe into the cloud-computing firm, among others, over suspected false declarations in relation to the purchase of servers and other related offences.

Alice, who was not in Singapore at the time, was investigated as a part of this probe—not for espionage, but because she was then the CEO, Chairperson, and a key controller of Megaspeed.

The MHA statement says that it was only on June 24 that year that Alice's passport was impounded so that she could be questioned in-person by the SPF and Singapore Customs—the time she joined US Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) officials for a voluntary Post-Shipment Verification (PSV) check at Megaspeed.

It was from July onwards that SPF and the Attorney-General Chambers (AGC) sought help from the US Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to make Nvidia-linked American server supplier Supermicro comply with their Megaspeed probe, but to no avail, as it was allegedly given limited help.

Alice's reported exit from Megaspeed comes at this point, which raises questions about the remainder of her time in Singapore till her release on February 26, 2026.

Despite providing "inaccurate" information to downplay her role at Megaspeed, she was released because the SPF and the AGC could not properly link her to the inaccurate declarations case. In that regard, the circumstances of her exit are also not yet known.

"She was issued a stern warning and barred from re-entering the country ... SPF’s investigations into Megaspeed and six other individuals are ongoing. None of the six persons have been in Singapore since investigations commenced in February 2025," the MHA statement added.

Where is Alice Huang now?

Bloomberg reported on November 11, citing sources in the know, that the Chinese businesswoman and alleged spy at the centre of the Nvidia row is currently in Beijing with the knowledge of security officials.

However, her reasons for travelling to the Chinese capital, the circumstances of her arrival and her current activities remain unclear, the sources added.

Her name will now come up in Huang's upcoming testimonies before Congress in December—one with top House Republicans, and the other with the Banking Committee—over the national security implications of his alleged ties to Alice, and her alleged role in the Nvidia controversy.
