Megaspeed는 중동 지역의 Nvidia 칩과 관련된 미국 조사에 협력하겠다고 약속했으며, Naharnet은 Nvidia CEO 젠슨 황의 향후 행보가 불확실하다고 보도했다.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigned Thursday, and the affair raises national security concerns.

The company named Colette Kress as interim CEO. She is currently Nvidia's executive vice president and chief financial officer.

Huang faced growing calls to resign after his affair with an alleged Chinese spy came to light. Late Wednesday, media reports said Huang had another extramarital affair, with an Nvidia employee who reports to him. Shares of Nvidia, one of the largest companies in the world, plunged 10% in premarket trading Thursday.

Megaspeed, the data center company at the center of the scandal engulfing Huang, pledged Thursday to cooperate with an investigation into potential risks to U.S. national security.

Nvidia's board was reportedly meeting to discuss Huang's future after revelations that he was having an affair with a former Megaspeed executive suspected of being a Chinese government agent. The New York Times reported Wednesday that Huang also had an affair with an Nvidia executive who reported to him. The Associated Press could not independently confirm those reports. As of early Thursday, there was no word on any outcome from the board's discussions.

In its first statement since the scandal broke, Singapore-headquartered Megaspeed International said it takes its obligation to comply with U.S. export control laws "extremely seriously." Details about Huang's affair with the former Megaspeed executive remain unclear.

"Megaspeed is committed to working constructively and transparently with the U.S. government," said the statement, signed by its chairman and CEO, Tan Yong Pong, who also goes by James Tan.

Nvidia has said it had "no reason to believe" that either national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised, but that its inquiry would examine all available information.

The New York Times reported that the woman was Alice Huang, who also goes by the name Huang Le, and was a top executive at Megaspeed. The company prominently touts a partnership with Nvidia on its website. The two are not related.

Last month, the Times reported that U.S. intelligence agencies had discovered that Huang had developed a close relationship with Alice Huang and determined that she was feeding information directly to Beijing. On Sunday, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the FBI was investigating.

Megaspeed faced claims last year that it was illicitly shipping advanced Nvidia computer chips into China, but in December it said there was "no evidence" of such exports. Singapore has also said it is investigating those allegations.

China has denied that it engaged in an attempt to ensnare Huang, who heads one of the world's most valuable companies. Nvidia has become a leader in making the chips that power AI, and Huang has lobbied Washington to loosen limits on Nvidia chip sales to China. In January, he won Trump's approval to sell its H200 chips to China.

In its Thursday statement, Megaspeed said it has cooperated with the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), which handles enforcement of national security restrictions on technology exports, and that it was ready to "cooperate fully with any other relevant U.S. government authority." It said it has hired a U.S. law firm to conduct a "comprehensive census" of its computer chips and verify its export controls.

"Megaspeed welcomes appropriate government scrutiny and is committed to demonstrating through concrete actions that it operates responsibly, transparently, and in accordance with applicable U.S. laws," the statement said.

Apart from national security questions, Megaspeed's finances have also drawn attention. Its total assets soared roughly 90-fold from late 2023 to 2024, to almost US$3 billion, according to Singapore corporate records. Revenue surged to over US$294 million in 2024 from none in 2023.
