Nvidia intervenes in US probe of MegaSpeed chip smuggling

NVIDIA has reportedly intervened in a U.S. probe into alleged smuggling activities involving MegaSpeed International, a Singapore-based company accused of redirecting NVIDIA AI chips to China. The intervention involved NVIDIA’s legal team inquiring about the role of U.S. officials in the detention of a MegaSpeed executive. This development comes as the investigation, initially handled by the Commerce Department, has been escalated to a criminal inquiry under the Justice Department. MegaSpeed has denied the smuggling allegations, while NVIDIA claims its contact with U.S. officials was to provide information and seek guidance. Observers will be closely monitoring any official statements from NVIDIA’s board or legal filings that might indicate further developments in the investigation. Updates on the Justice Department’s inquiry, particularly findings that could implicate leadership, will be critical.
