Super Micro denies Megaspeed was ever a customer amid Singapore investigation
Super Micro said Megaspeed has never been its customer and asserted it has cooperated with U.S., Taiwanese and Singaporean authorities, while Singapore officials claim the company's assistance was limited.
Super Micro told Fortune that Megaspeed is not, and has never been, a Supermicro customer. The company added that it has been responsive to inquiries and has fully cooperated with U.S. and Taiwanese officials, while also voluntarily providing information and engaging with all requests from Singapore authorities to date.
Singapore’s Ministry of Home Affairs said the Singapore Police Force and Customs opened investigations into Megaspeed and Alice Huang, a former top executive there who had an affair with Nvidia co-founder Jensen Huang and is suspected by some authorities of acting as a spy for China. The ministry said Singapore authorities had asked Supermicro for information and received only “limited cooperation,” noting that the matter was first raised with U.S. authorities on July 7, 2025 and subsequently with the Department of Justice and the FBI.
Alice Huang, who is not related to Jensen Huang, has drawn intense scrutiny after reports of the affair emerged before Jensen Huang’s resignation. The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan is reportedly examining whether entities linked to her helped smuggle Supermicro hardware with Nvidia GPUs into China. Multiple probes have been launched into export-control breaches related to Alice and her businesses, including Megaspeed. Jensen Huang, Nvidia and Supermicro have not been charged with wrongdoing.
Supermicro’s co-founder Charles Liang, a longtime friend of Jensen Huang, and the two companies have long shared a close relationship, which has benefited customers seeking early access to Nvidia’s latest chips. Another co-founder, Yih-Shyan “Wally” Liaw, was arrested in March and charged with allegedly routing about $2.5 billion in servers with Nvidia H200 and B200 GPUs into China through a Southeast Asian front company; he has pleaded not guilty and his trial is set for March 2027. A co-defendant, Ting-Wei “Willy” Sun, pleaded guilty in October. Supermicro said it was a victim of the scheme and that an internal investigation found no evidence current senior-management members were aware of the alleged conspiracy. The company’s stock fell nearly 4 % this week.
In August, prosecutors in Keelung, Taiwan indicted nine people over 130 Supermicro servers with Nvidia B300 chips that were allegedly cleared for shipment using forged data-center inspection records. Some 74 of the servers reached China before customs intercepted the remainder. The defendants include two former Supermicro Taiwan employees and a former Nvidia Taiwan employee, who face breach-of-trust and document-forgery charges. Unauthorized AI-chip exports to China are not currently a criminal offense in Taiwan, which is why the charges relate to forgery and breach-of-trust. Neither Nvidia nor Supermicro was charged.
Super Micro said it maintains a robust compliance program and continues to work closely with authorities and industry partners to combat diversion and help protect American innovation. The company disclosed a grand-jury subpoena and inquiries from the SEC, the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security, and foreign authorities.
