Singapore Says US Not Helpful On Investigation Into Suspected Spy's Company

Singapore says U.S. authorities provided limited assistance in its investigation of Megaspeed, the company run by Alice Huang, the Chinese businesswoman whom U.S. intelligence suspects is a Chinese spy and whose relationship with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has drawn scrutiny. According to Singapore, authorities held Alice Huang's passport from June 2025 until February while investigating "potential false declarations," but ultimately released her with a "stern warning" and barred her from re-entering the country. The New York Times reports: The statement raises new questions about the response of the Trump administration to the case and why the U.S. government did not more forcefully intervene. According to the timeline in the statement, Singaporean authorities had been holding Ms. Huang's passport well after President Trump was briefed last fall about her relationship with Nvidia's chief executive and the belief that she was a Chinese intelligence asset. The New York Times has reported that Taiwan began monitoring Ms. Huang in 2024 at the guidance of the U.S. government.

In its statement, Singapore said that it had sought information from an American server maker and close Nvidia business partner, Supermicro, but that the company had provided "limited cooperation." Supermicro, a firm that packages Nvidia's A.I. chips onto servers that can be used in data centers, has been at the center of a number of chip smuggling investigations across the globe. Supermicro was a supplier to Megaspeed, a company incorporated in Singapore and run by Ms. Huang, according to two people with knowledge of the matter.

Singapore said in the statement its authorities raised Supermicro's "limited cooperation" with the U.S. Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation in July 2025 and "requested their assistance in securing the company's cooperation." "Despite these repeated requests, Singapore has to date received limited information or assistance in respect of the company," the statement said.

Can't imagine why

Nvidia donated $25M to the Trump Ballroom.

Beat me to it and he's calling for Tim Apple to run Nvidia. See how the king favors those who gift him trinkets? https://www.usatoday.com/story... [usatoday.com]

The so-called "Trump Ballroom" is about re-vamping a nuclear bunker under the White House.

Megaspeed paid up front

That's the bottom line.

Some estimates put that 25% of NVIDIA's revenue was generated by customers that NVIDIA themselves financed, or backed with guarantees. So basically NVIDIA would invest in a new neocloud, who then used the new funds to buy NVIDIA chips. That neocloud then, often public, grows it's stock price. NVIDIA wins because it gets revenue from the sales as well as growth of the stock, but it uses it's own dollars to do so who basically come back to it as revenue.

That can come to an end

It's okay singapore, it was just a cover story

You don't have to keep committing to the bit. We just spent the last several years establishing that it's under no one's power to hold CEOs accountable for who they sleep with (putting it mildly). But the compromised leaders of the free world's state secrets are not a concern in that case! Only a concern for this one CEO who's got to go. (And fuck him)
