Nvidia CEO's alleged spy ties flagged by short-seller months prior

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A short-seller firm, Culper Research, had previously raised concerns about Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's close relationship with Alice Huang, an executive at Megaspeed, a company that purchases Nvidia chips. This comes to light six months after Culper's report, as Alice Huang is now suspected of being a Chinese spy. Culper's investigation into Megaspeed's ties to Nvidia also suggested that the company, which has seen a massive increase in liabilities, may have been secretly financed by Alibaba Group through shell companies, potentially rerouting Nvidia chips to China.
