SINGAPORE, Nov 12 — Alice Huang, the alleged Chinese spy at the heart of the scandal that brought down Nvidia's chief executive officer (CEO) Jensen Huang, left Singapore in February and was barred from re-entering after an investigation into possible offences.
On Thursday, the United States (US) chip giant said that Jensen, its co-founder and chief executive, was stepping down, following reports that the 63-year-old had two extramarital affairs, including one with Alice, whom US authorities suspect of spying for Beijing.
The Singaporean Home Affairs Ministry said that Alice, a former executive at Nvidia customer Megaspeed, was investigated for possible offences including buying servers that were exported via Singapore to Malaysia without entering the Singapore market.
In a statement today, it added that she was investigated "for suspected involvement in the possible offences in Singapore, given her position as then-CEO, chairperson, and one of the key controllers of Megaspeed". The ministry noted that the investigation did not concern espionage.
It said there is insufficient evidence to establish that Alice committed any offences, but that she provided police with "information, which she knew to be inaccurate" during the investigation and downplayed her role at Megaspeed, a cloud computing firm.
She received a stern warning and was barred from re-entering the country. Alice could not be reached for comment.
Bloomberg News, citing people familiar with the matter, reported that she is currently living in Beijing with security officials' knowledge.
The ministry also said that investigations into Megaspeed and six individuals are ongoing.
The city-state will "not allow companies or individuals to misuse Singapore's business environment to engage in fraud or dishonest practices," and will cooperate with foreign authorities where appropriate.
In October 2025, the Singapore police said that they were investigating Megaspeed over "suspected breaches of our domestic laws". That came after a US senator requested the US Commerce Department investigate whether Megaspeed had diverted Nvidia chips.
Earlier today, Megaspeed said that it takes compliance obligations under US export control laws "extremely seriously", adding that it has cooperated with US inspections.
