Megaspeed Says Alice Huang Left Company in August 2025

Detailed summary

The Singaporean company’s disclosure added to the timeline involving Ms. Huang, a former executive who had a relationship with Jensen Huang of Nvidia. U.S. officials say she was spying for China.

Megaspeed, the Singaporean data center company, said on Sunday that Alice Huang, a former executive at the center of what U.S. officials call a Chinese spy plot targeting the Nvidia co-founder Jensen Huang, had left the company in August 2025, according to a company statement.

The statement, which was reported by The Associated Press, was Megaspeed’s first to directly address the status of Ms. Huang since she became the focus of international scrutiny over her ties to Mr. Huang, who resigned from Nvidia on Thursday.

News of their relationship rocked Nvidia, the dominant maker of artificial intelligence chips, as well as the global technology sector and the U.S. government.

Last month, The New York Times reported that American officials had concluded Ms. Huang was a Chinese intelligence asset and had a close relationship with Mr. Huang, one of the most powerful figures in the A.I. boom and an adviser to President Trump.

Mr. Huang acknowledged last Sunday that he had had an affair with Ms. Huang, and Nvidia’s board of directors said they had begun an investigation into his conduct. On Wednesday, The New York Times reported that he also had an extramarital relationship with an executive at Nvidia who reported to him. He abruptly stepped down as chief executive the next day from the company he had led for more than 30 years.

The chip maker’s stock has fallen about 30 percent below its all-time high, which was set just over a month ago, erasing more than $1 trillion in market value.
