Nvidia Lawyers Wade Into US Smuggling Probe Tied to MegaSpeed

Nvidia's lawyers have reportedly inserted themselves into a US investigation into MegaSpeed International, the Singapore-based firm accused of routing Nvidia AI chips to China. According to Crypto Briefing, the legal team pressed for answers on what role US officials played in the detention of a MegaSpeed executive. MegaSpeed denies the smuggling allegations outright.

The probe has changed hands and changed weight. What began at the Commerce Department is now a criminal inquiry run by the Justice Department. Nvidia, for its part, says its contact with US officials was about handing over information and asking for guidance, not about steering the case.

That leaves the executive's detention and the Justice Department's next moves as the two threads to watch. Nvidia has not signaled anything beyond its stated reason for reaching out, and MegaSpeed continues to reject the accusations against it.
