GoKawiilShort seller Culper flagged Jensen Huang-Megaspeed executive ties months before spy claims
Culper Research published a May 13 report questioning the close relationship between Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Megaspeed executive Alice Huang, months before she was suspected of being a Chinese intelligence asset. The report described the pair as 'uncomfortably close' and noted Nvidia staff speculated about a 'special relationship,' while also alleging Megaspeed was secretly financed by Alibaba to reroute China chip sales around U.S. export controls. Nvidia has since opened a formal investigation after Huang admitted to an extramarital affair with Alice Huang.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The resurfaced report suggests that warning signs about this relationship and Nvidia's possible China exposure existed well before intelligence officials went public with spying concerns, which could raise questions about internal oversight at Nvidia. It also hints, according to Culper's analysis, that export-control evasion through Southeast Asian intermediaries may be a broader pattern worth scrutiny by regulators and investors alike.
- Culper Research flagged Jensen Huang's ties to Alice Huang six months before spy allegations surfaced.
- Culper alleged Megaspeed was secretly funded by Alibaba to reroute China chip sales around export controls.
- Nvidia has opened a formal investigation after Huang admitted to an affair with Alice Huang.
