The New York Post reports that the Nvidia board’s inquiry comes six months after a May 2026 report from the New York short-seller firm Culper Research, titled "NVIDIA (NVDA): The China Problem," which examined ties between Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Alice Huang, an executive at Singapore-based tech company Megaspeed. Culper Research, founded by Christian Lamarco in 2019, alleged that Megaspeed was secretly financed by Alibaba through what it called "apparent shell companies."
Megaspeed has been under scrutiny before over claims it diverted Nvidia chips to China in violation of US export controls. The Singapore-headquartered company has denied the allegations, and site inspections by Nvidia and US officials reportedly found no evidence of violations. Megaspeed has said there is "no evidence" behind the claims and described itself as "a compliant and legitimate company."
Jensen Huang: Hey John, thanks for taking my call. I think I'm being pitched by Alice Huang. What should I do ?
John Ratcliffe: Yes Jensen, we're fully aware. Just continue to meet and enjoy the braised Abalone. Keep us posted.
