Megaspeed says former executive Alice Huang left in August 2025

In short: Megaspeed says Alice Huang left her executive job in August 2025, adding a new detail to an ongoing, disputed timeline tied to spying claims.

What happened

Megaspeed, a Singapore-based company, disclosed that Alice Huang left her executive role in August 2025. The company said it started an internal review, hired outside lawyers, and would cooperate with U.S. authorities after reports raised questions about its business and supply chain.

Public reporting describes a longer timeline that is still disputed. Records cited in reporting say Huang became Megaspeed’s managing director in 2023 and resigned as a company director later that year.

In 2025, Singapore authorities questioned Huang and seized her passport during an investigation into Megaspeed. They later said there was not enough evidence to charge her. However, they suspected she gave inaccurate information about her role and barred her from returning to Singapore.

In October 2026, The New York Times reported that U.S. intelligence agencies believed Huang was gathering information for China. The allegations have not been publicly substantiated, and the U.S. Justice Department had not reached a conclusion, according to the reporting.

The reports also connected Huang to Jensen Huang of Nvidia through a personal relationship. After the reports, Jensen Huang acknowledged being unfaithful but did not identify Alice Huang by name. Nvidia said it had no reason to believe its trade secrets or U.S. national security had been compromised.

China has denied the espionage claims, and Alice Huang has not publicly responded.

Why it matters

This story sits at the intersection of business, government investigations, and national security. Even without a final legal finding, companies can face scrutiny and restrictions when authorities worry that sensitive information is being collected, like someone quietly copying pages from a private playbook.
