Nvidia partner Megaspeed says ex-managing director Alice Huang left in August 2025
In brief
- Megaspeed says former managing director Alice Huang left effective August 30, 2025.
- The departure date comes from a November 15, 2026 statement reported by the AP.
- Singapore's Ministry of Home Affairs says Huang isn't an espionage suspect.
- Singapore's separate probe into Megaspeed's export compliance remains unresolved.
- Reported US intelligence claims about Huang remain unsourced and unverified.
What Megaspeed said (and didn't)
It's the first time Megaspeed has spoken directly about Huang's status since the controversy around her began, according to Crypto Briefing. The statement doesn't go much further than that. It sets out a departure date and little else.
Huang served as managing director while Megaspeed restructured out of 7Road International in early 2023, and she remained listed as a director until November 2023. The company didn't explain her role after that point.
That's the whole disclosure.
Singapore's position
Singapore's Ministry of Home Affairs said its investigation concerning Huang centered on export and declaration issues. The ministry's probe explicitly excluded links to espionage, and Singaporean authorities said Huang isn't a suspect in espionage.
There's a second track, too. Singaporean authorities are running a separate investigation into Megaspeed over export compliance, which followed allegations that the company shipped Nvidia hardware to Chinese companies in violation of US embargo rules. Those allegations haven't been resolved, Crypto Briefing said.
The espionage claims remain unverified
Crypto Briefing also reported that US intelligence agencies assessed Huang as a potential intelligence asset for China, allegedly recruited by China's Ministry of State Security. The outlet didn't cite a source for that assessment, and LeoDex News hasn't been able to verify it independently. According to the same report, the alleged goals were access to Nvidia's technology development (particularly its AI chip work) and influence over US export policy.
Crypto Briefing wrote that the disclosure comes as unnamed officials describe what they call a Chinese spy plot aimed at a top AI chip executive. LeoDex News couldn't verify that claim. None of it has been established on the record by Megaspeed or by Singapore.
For now, the clearest on-record position belongs to Singapore's Ministry of Home Affairs: an investigation focused on export and declaration issues, and no espionage suspect in Huang. Megaspeed, for its part, has confirmed a date and stopped there.
