Megaspeed says its former chief executive Alice Huang officially left on 30 August 2025 and has had no role since, the South China Morning Post reported . The Singapore cloud company also denied claims about its supply chain.

In a statement on Sunday, Megaspeed said it conducts legitimate and lawful business. It said the allegations against it are not supported by verifiable evidence. It also said it had hired outside lawyers to look into media reports about its operations.

The company, a major Nvidia customer, has been accused in media reports of helping Chinese firms get around US chip export controls. It says its controls are built to follow all laws, including US rules.

Megaspeed said it would not comment on Alice Huang’s private life. US officials suspect her of spying for China, which Beijing denies. Jensen Huang resigned as Nvidia’s chief executive last week after admitting an affair with her. The two are not related.

Singapore’s account suggests she was still in charge for most of 2025. Police investigated her as Megaspeed’s then chief executive, chairperson and one of its key controllers, the home affairs ministry said on Thursday.

She was present on 24 June 2025 when the US Bureau of Industry and Security checked Megaspeed’s shipments. Police interviewed her that day and held her passport.

Police later found too little evidence that she had committed an offence. But they said she knowingly gave them inaccurate information to downplay her role . She left Singapore on 26 February 2026 and is barred from returning.

Singapore’s probe into Megaspeed and six other people goes on. It has charged four people and four companies over server deals. Malaysia is also checking whether chips imported by Megaspeed’s local unit were shipped on. Nvidia says it cut off Megaspeed in 2025.
