Megaspeed Pledges U.S. Cooperation Amid Nvidia CEO Spy Scandal
· Technology · NBC News, The Hindu
Megaspeed, a Singapore-based tech company central to a Chinese spy scandal involving Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, announced Thursday it will fully cooperate with U.S. government investigations. The company stated it takes its obligation to U.S. export control laws 'extremely seriously' and has retained a leading U.S. law firm to independently verify its GPU export compliance practices. U.S. intelligence agencies reportedly determined Huang had an affair with Alice Huang, a Chinese intelligence operative and senior Megaspeed executive, who was one of Nvidia's biggest customers in Southeast Asia. Nvidia's stock price has plunged since Huang admitted to being 'unfaithful' to his wife over the weekend, with the board currently deliberating his future amid national security concerns.
