Megaspeed’s 2024 affiliate filings widen Nvidia chip scrutiny

Reuters traced one Australian address to a Victorian newsagency as US and Singapore authorities examine suspected chip-export breaches.

Megaspeed’s 2024 affiliate filings widen Nvidia chip scrutiny

Megaspeed International registered affiliates in the US, Australia and other countries in 2024, with 29-year-old Kai Kang listed as sole officer, Reuters reported via The Straits Times on Nov. 12.

The 2024 filings extend scrutiny beyond Singapore and the US; Megaspeed first drew attention in 2025 when the New York Times reported a US investigation into possible access to export-controlled Nvidia chips.

Filings in Delaware and with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission show the affiliates were created in 2024. Both named Kang as director or president, while the Australian filing lists the Singapore-based parent as the stockholder.

Kang is also registered as director of Megaspeed units in Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand, according to Reuters checks of company records in those countries. For scale, Reuters reported no other Australian corporate record for Kang beyond Megaspeed, while registries in three Southeast Asian countries linked him to related units.

Reuters said it could not contact Kang and visited the home address listed in the affiliate filings: Seymour News, a newsagency and lottery retailer in regional Victoria, about an hour north of Melbourne. A woman who said she was Kang’s mother told Reuters: “He doesn’t have any business here.”

The woman, who declined to give her name, said Kang was based in Shanghai, had completed a master’s degree at Shanghai University and had visited his parents in August and September. She said she knew about Nvidia and Megaspeed, but said her son had nothing to do with the Singapore company.

Megaspeed Australia’s business address is listed on the 10th floor of a building in Sydney’s business district. A concierge on that floor told Reuters the company used a virtual office, an administrative address rather than a disclosed operating site.

Megaspeed says on its website that it is an Nvidia Cloud Partner in the Asia-Pacific region. The company says it offers access to Nvidia’s GB200 NVL72 and HGX H100 systems, which are used for artificial-intelligence computing.

In October 2025, Singapore police said they were investigating Megaspeed over “suspected breaches of our domestic laws” after a US senator asked the Commerce Department to examine whether the company had diverted Nvidia chips.

The Reuters report also linked Megaspeed to wider scrutiny of Nvidia Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang, who said on Nov. 9 that he had been unfaithful to his wife but did not give details. The report said US intelligence officials believed Alice Huang, a controlling shareholder of Megaspeed, was spying for Beijing; China called the allegation “a groundless accusation, slander and a smear”, and Alice Huang could not be reached for comment.

Reuters said it could not immediately determine whether Australian authorities were examining the firm. The Australian Security Intelligence Organisation said it does not confirm or comment on investigations.
