Singaporean police continue to investigate Megaspeed after barring Alice Huang from the country following months of passport confiscation. Authorities sought assistance from the U.S. Department of Justice and the FBI in July 2025 to secure cooperation from American server maker Supermicro. However, repeated inquiries to U.S. officials yielded limited support, complicating efforts to trace connections between the suppliers. For its part, Supermicro denied ever selling products to Megaspeed and maintained that it adheres strictly to U.S. export control laws.

Singaporean authorities held Ms. Huang’s passport to prevent her from leaving the country from June 2025 until February over “potential false declarations” in relation to her company, Megaspeed, which is based in the country, the government said in a statement. She was ultimately released with a “stern warning” and barred from re-entering Singapore.
The statement raises new questions about the response of the Trump administration to the case and why the U.S. government did not more forcefully intervene. According to the timeline in the statement, Singaporean authorities had been holding Ms. Huang’s passport well after President Trump was briefed last fall about her relationship with Nvidia’s chief executive and the belief that she was a Chinese intelligence asset.
