The US Commerce Department halted an investigation into Megaspeed after Nvidia intervened, according to reports. Nvidia’s general counsel requested details of the probe before the Commerce Department transferred the case to the Justice Department.

Nvidia’s intervention

Nvidia’s general counsel reportedly asked for details of the US investigation into Megaspeed. This request preceded the Commerce Department’s decision to move the case to the Justice Department.

Public information regarding Megaspeed remains limited. Reports have linked the Singapore-based data centre company to Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang. The connection has placed the firm in the spotlight of a broader corporate inquiry.

Espionage allegations

Allegations of espionage have been linked to the situation, though details remain sparse. Former Megaspeed executive Alice Huang is reported to be at the centre of the scrutiny. Her ties to both the company and Nvidia's leadership have drawn attention.

The probe's halt marks a significant development in the ongoing narrative. While the Commerce Department stopped its initial inquiry, the transfer to the Justice Department indicates the matter is not fully resolved. The specific reasons for the halt were not detailed in the initial reports.
