Singapore launched its investigation into Megaspeed and affiliated entities after the business moved over $4 billion in Nvidia semiconductors within two years. Financial filings show the company scaled its assets from $32 million to nearly $3 billion despite reporters locating empty office spaces across Singapore and Malaysia. Furthermore, loan agreements tie the firm's Malaysian subsidiary to Chinese e-commerce leader Alibaba through Singapore-based Apex Enterprise Solutions. Authorities have since barred key figure Alice Huang from Singapore for misleading officials about her controlling role.
