Bloomberg: Nvidia's top lawyer stepped into US chip-smuggling probe of Megaspeed
Bloomberg reports that Nvidia's general counsel got involved in a US government investigation into suspected AI chip smuggling by Singapore-based Megaspeed International. The lawyer reportedly asked whether the Trump administration had a hand in detaining a Megaspeed executive. Bloomberg says that executive is now central to a scandal that threatens Jensen Huang.
