The issue isn't technology.

   Nvidia Corp’s general counsel intervened in a US government probe of suspected smuggling of AI chips by Megaspeed International, questioning whether the Trump administration played a role in detaining an executive from the Singapore-based firm who’s now at the heart of a scandal threatening Jensen Huang.

   In late summer 2025, Nvidia’s Tim Teter called Commerce Under Secretary Jeffrey Kessler, who oversees US chip export curbs, to ask about the Megaspeed investigation, according to people familiar with the matter.

   Specifically, Teter wanted to know whether Kessler’s Bureau of Industry and Security was involved in the Singapore government’s recent detention of Alice Huang, a Megaspeed executive, according to the people. Singapore police had brought Alice in for questioning and restricted her from leaving the country. BIS was not involved in that action, said the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity owing to the sensitivity of the matter.

It doesn't take a Mensa-level IQ to figure out where chips are headed. A company in Singapore run by Chinese nationals, that had less than $6 million in cash at the end of 2023 and then buying over $4 billion in advanced chips between 2024 and 2026, isn't keeping them in Kalamazoo, Malaysia.

Most of the smuggling is a case of see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.
