Nvidia’s top lawyer intervened in US probe of suspected Megaspeed chip smuggling, Bloomberg reports

Bloomberg reports that Nvidia general counsel Tim Teter called Commerce official Jeffrey Kessler in 2025 about Megaspeed executive Alice Huang’s detention. Investigators later faced restrictions, the report says; whether Teter made specific requests is unclear. Nvidia says it helps officials combat chip diversion, while the Bureau of Industry and Security says it enforces “by the book.” Megaspeed denies chip diversion and says Singapore’s investigation ended without adverse action against it.
