Follow-Up: Megaspeed Issues First Public Statement, Says It Cooperated With U.S. Inspections and Retained a U.S. Law Firm to Census Its GPUs

Singapore-based cloud computing firm Megaspeed posted a statement on its website on November 12, its first public statement since the scandal erupted. In the statement, Chairman and Chief Executive James Tan Yong Pong said Megaspeed has cooperated with inspections by the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) and has retained a U.S. law firm to lead a comprehensive census of all the graphics processing units (GPUs) the company holds and to independently verify its export-control compliance practices.

"Compliance is a fundamental priority for the company, and Megaspeed is committed to working constructively and transparently with the US government," Tan said. He said the company has cooperated with the Bureau of Industry and Security's inspections and "stands ready to cooperate fully with any other relevant US government authority." The statement said Megaspeed takes its compliance obligations under U.S. export control laws "extremely seriously," welcomes government scrutiny, and intends to show through concrete actions that it operates responsibly and in line with U.S. law.

Singapore police said in October that they were investigating Megaspeed over suspected breaches of Singapore's domestic laws. In an October 31 clarification, Singapore's Ministry of Home Affairs said Singapore's government and officials had never said Alice Huang was involved in espionage and had not investigated her on that basis, while adding that investigations into Megaspeed were continuing. According to Reuters, both the U.S. and Singapore investigations remain ongoing.

Megaspeed is an Nvidia cloud partner in the Asia-Pacific region, and its former executive Alice Huang (Huang Le) and her dealings with Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang have been at the center of recent U.S. media investigations. According to The New York Times and other outlets, U.S. intelligence officials assessed that Alice Huang had links to China's Ministry of State Security, an allegation that has not been established. U.S. authorities have also looked into whether Megaspeed helped Chinese businesses gain access to restricted Nvidia chips; Megaspeed has denied any involvement in illegal diversion and has said earlier inspections by the Bureau of Industry and Security and other agencies found no evidence of violations, a claim that has likewise not been independently established. Jensen Huang has acknowledged to employees that he was unfaithful to his wife, and Nvidia's board has opened an independent investigation, saying it has no reason to believe U.S. national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised.

Since GSM began covering this matter, the newsroom has written to Nvidia's media department seeking comment and had received no formal reply as of publication. GSM will continue to follow official developments.
