Alice Huang reportedly instrumental in securing over $7.5 billion of Nvidia AI GPU imports during three-year relationship with Jensen Huang

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admitted to having an affair with Megaspeed executive Alice Huang, who is also suspected of being a spy working for the Chinese Ministry of State Security (MSS). Now, an investigation by The Information has revealed a 'labyrinth' of companies centered around Shanghai Century Litong and connected to Singaporean firm Megaspeed, which has previously been accused of smuggling $2 billion worth of Nvidia chips. The report claims Alice Huang helped move 240,000 banned chips into the country, mostly H100 and H200 systems, and was instrumental in securing AI GPU imports to the tune of $7.5 billion.

Sources in the report link the two companies to Alice Huang via their personal knowledge and corporate registration records, while there have also been reports that some of the Nvidia AI chips Megaspeed bought went to Shanghai Century Litong’s data centers in China. But aside from these corporate ties, there were also numerous reports about Ms. Huang’s personal relationship with the Nvidia chief, and how it gave her the ability to procure chips that were otherwise hard to get elsewhere.

Ms. Huang allegedly boasted about her access to the Nvidia CEO publicly. People familiar with her said that she regularly uploaded photos with Jensen to her WeChat account and even shared other images with customers to establish her credibility.
