U.S. Commerce Dept. Inquiry Into Megaspeed Was Halted After Nvidia Intervention
The New York Times reports that a Commerce Department investigation into Megaspeed, a Singaporean company suspected of smuggling Nvidia chips into China, was abruptly transferred to the Justice Department after Nvidia's general counsel invoked Jeff Kessler, a Trump-nominated Commerce official, prompting alarm among agents. Officials viewed the interaction as potentially tainting the case, and the revelations come as Nvidia's Jensen Huang has acknowledged an affair with a Megaspeed executive.
