Singapore Says U.S. Gave Little Help in Probe of Suspected Spy’s Company

Singapore investigation into Alice Huang and Megaspeed, Digi Mart USA News: Singapore’s government said on Thursday that the United States had provided little help in its investigation into Alice Huang, the woman at the center of a spy plot that has led to an investigation of Nvidia’s chief executive, Jensen Huang.

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 Singapore, 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 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.

The New York Times has reported that Taiwan began monitoring Ms. Huang in 2024 at the guidance of the U.S.

government.

In its statement, Singapore said it had sought information from Supermicro, an American server maker and close Nvidia business partner, but that the company had been uncooperative. Supermicro packages Nvidia’s A.I.

chips onto servers used in data centers and has been at the center of a number of chip smuggling investigations across the globe. Two people with knowledge of the matter said Supermicro was a supplier to Megaspeed.

Singapore said its authorities raised Supermicro’s “limited cooperation” with the U.S. Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation in July 2025 and “requested their assistance in securing the company’s cooperation.” “Despite these repeated requests, Singapore has to date received limited information or assistance in respect of the company,” the statement said.

Supermicro did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

According to the statement, Ms. Huang sought to downplay her role in Megaspeed during questioning.

She was ultimately released because of “insufficient evidence relating to the possible inaccurate declarations for which Megaspeed was being investigated.” Singapore’s police are continuing to investigate Megaspeed.
