SINGAPORE — Megaspeed International has confirmed that Alice Huang officially left the Singapore-based cloud-computing company on August 30, 2025, and no longer holds any position there. The announcement adds a significant new detail to a controversy involving former Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang, questions surrounding advanced artificial-intelligence chip exports and claims that remain the subject of investigations and public scrutiny, according to The Associated Press and Reuters.
In a statement to The Associated Press, Megaspeed said Alice Huang had left the company effective August 30 last year. The company also said it does not comment on her personal and private matters.
The company said it was aware of recent media reports containing assertions about its business, supply chain and global operations that it considers unsupported by verifiable evidence. It added that it had retained external legal counsel to conduct a thorough internal investigation, as reported by Reuters.
Megaspeed Faces Renewed Scrutiny
Megaspeed, an Nvidia customer and cloud partner in the Asia-Pacific region, has attracted attention over allegations that advanced Nvidia chips may have been routed through intermediary companies and data-centre operations to customers in China, potentially bypassing United States export restrictions.
Those claims have not been established as findings of wrongdoing against Megaspeed. In its latest response, the company maintained that it operates a legitimate and lawful business and said its supply-chain controls are designed to comply with applicable laws, including US export-control requirements. Reuters’ reporting on the company’s response said Megaspeed also indicated it had cooperated with inspections by the US Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security and was prepared to cooperate with other relevant authorities.
The announcement of an external legal review is important because it signals that the company is responding to the reputational and regulatory pressure with a formal internal examination. However, the appointment of outside counsel is not itself proof that the allegations are true. The outcome of the review has not yet been announced.
What Singapore’s Investigation Established
Singapore’s Ministry of Home Affairs has provided an important distinction in the case. In a statement issued on November 12, 2026, the ministry said Singapore Police Force and Singapore Customs began an independent investigation in February 2025 into several companies and key officers, including Megaspeed, over suspected false declarations connected with server purchases and related offences. The details are set out in the ministry’s official investigation statement.
Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, was investigated because she was then Megaspeed’s chief executive, chairperson and one of its key controllers. The ministry explicitly stated that she was not investigated for espionage. Singapore said its investigation was independent and was not initiated at the request of another country.
According to the ministry, investigators concluded in February 2026 that there was insufficient evidence to establish that Huang had committed offences relating to the suspected inaccurate declarations. Authorities nevertheless assessed that she had provided information she knew to be inaccurate in an effort to downplay her role at Megaspeed. She received a stern warning and was barred from re-entering Singapore. Her passport was returned on February 26, 2026, and she left the country that day.
Singapore said investigations into Megaspeed and six other individuals remain ongoing. The official account is significant because it separates the Singapore proceedings—which concerned suspected domestic offences—from the separate espionage allegations circulating in US media reports.
Corporate Records Raise Questions About Her Former Role
Megaspeed’s latest statement also adds to questions about the timing and nature of Alice Huang’s departure. The Associated Press reported that public corporate records showed she was no longer listed as a company director by November 2023 and that her shares had been transferred to an entity owned by Singaporean businessman Tan Yong Pong, also known as James Tan. These details were included in the AP’s reporting on the case.
However, those records did not settle whether she continued to exercise influence over the company’s daily operations. A report published by short seller Culper Research in May cited an employee who allegedly described Huang as still being the person in charge. That claim has not been independently established in the reporting cited here. Megaspeed’s statement now provides the company’s own declared end date for her employment or role: August 30, 2025.
The distinction matters. A change in shareholding or directorship does not necessarily establish the date an individual stopped working for or influencing a business. Megaspeed’s latest statement addresses that question from the company’s perspective, while leaving the historical questions about her precise responsibilities and influence open to further scrutiny.
Jensen Huang Controversy And Nvidia’s Response
The Megaspeed announcement comes amid intense attention surrounding Jensen Huang, Nvidia’s co-founder and former chief executive. Huang acknowledged in a November 8 message to employees that he had been unfaithful to his wife and apologised to his family and colleagues. His message did not identify the person involved.
Nvidia’s board had announced an independent investigation after reports raised questions about whether Huang had been targeted by a foreign intelligence effort. The company said at the time that it had no reason to believe its secrets or US national security had been compromised. Reuters reported on Nvidia’s independent investigation. Reuters later reported, citing people familiar with the matter and internal correspondence it reviewed, that Huang had described his interactions with Alice Huang to Nvidia leaders as routine business dealings. The news agency said it had not independently verified whether Alice Huang worked on behalf of the Chinese government; its report on Huang’s communications with Nvidia leaders details those accounts.
Huang resigned as Nvidia chief executive on November 12, according to the company’s regulatory filing. Nvidia named chief financial officer Colette Kress interim CEO while the board searches for a permanent successor. The sequence of events has intensified questions about corporate governance and the oversight of relationships involving senior executives, but the company has not publicly established that confidential information or national-security material was compromised.
What Remains Unresolved
Several important questions remain unanswered. Megaspeed’s external legal review has yet to report its findings. Singapore’s investigation into the company and six other individuals is continuing. US authorities have not publicly established that Alice Huang was acting as a Chinese intelligence operative, and Reuters has said it could not independently verify that allegation. China has rejected the espionage claims.
Singapore’s government has also directly rejected suggestions that its authorities investigated Alice Huang for espionage or examined her alleged links to Chinese intelligence. In an October 31 clarification, the Ministry of Home Affairs said Singapore officials had not made the claims attributed to them in a Wall Street Journal report. The ministry’s official clarification sets out its position.
For Nvidia, the affair and related allegations have become a test of board oversight, executive accountability and the company’s exposure to geopolitical tensions surrounding advanced AI chips. For Megaspeed, the immediate challenge is to demonstrate that its business and supply-chain practices comply with applicable rules while the external review and official investigations proceed.
Megaspeed’s confirmation that Alice Huang left in August 2025 clarifies one part of the timeline. It does not, on its own, resolve the wider questions surrounding the company’s operations, the allegations about chip movements or claims of foreign intelligence activity. Those issues will require evidence and the conclusions of the relevant investigations.
