Australian Newsagent Worker Linked to Firm in Nvidia Spy Scandal
· World · ABC News (AU), Bloomberg
A 29-year-old newsagent worker in regional Victoria is listed as the sole director of Megaspeed Australia, a subsidiary of the Singapore-based firm embroiled in an alleged espionage scandal involving Nvidia. Megaspeed's former executive Alice Huang has been accused of acting as a Chinese agent, and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang recently confirmed an affair with her. The Australian subsidiary lists a business address in Sydney's Martin Place, though mail sent to the location was returned undelivered in January. The director's father stated he was unaware his store address was used for the company and noted his son is currently out of the country. The FBI is investigating whether state secrets were compromised in the broader inquiry.
