Culper Research flagged Jensen Huang and Megaspeed ties before affair

Bullseye American Ingenuity Fund Portfolio Manager Adam Johnson explains why Nvidia stock remains a buy despite the board’s investigation into CEO Jensen Huang. He argues the company’s growth outweighs the executive scandal.

Months before reports of the affair between Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and alleged Chinese spy Alice Huang surfaced, a short seller noted the “uncomfortably close relationship” between the two.

A report titled “NVIDIA (NVDA): The China Problem” was published by Culper Research in May 2026, and although it didn’t directly suggest an affair between the two, it noted the close ties between them. The report also alleged that Megaspeed, the Singapore-based chip buyer Alice Huang worked for, was financed by Alibaba through shell companies.

“Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has not only vouched for Megaspeed, but seems to have quite literally walked alongside Megaspeed at every step, while maintaining an uncomfortably close relationship with Megaspeed’s Alice Huang, a Chinese national,” Culper Research wrote.

Culper Research, which is named after a spy ring created by George Washington during the American Revolutionary War, said that it was short on Nvidia because of the company’s close ties to China amid geopolitical tensions with the U.S., which imposed export controls to block advanced AI chips from going to China.

The report claimed that Chinese firms are still accessing Nvidia’s advanced chips through diversion from other buyers in Southeast Asia. It also noted that Nvidia has vouched for Megaspeed, which is the largest buyer of the company’s chips in Southeast Asia and has faced investigations by U.S. regulators and authorities in Singapore.

Regarding Jensen Huang’s relationship with Alice Huang, the report noted they were seen together in June 2024 and May 2025. One Megaspeed employee said that “Jensen visits Megaspeed-linked data centers ‘every few months’ and ‘every single time’ he visits, he is accompanied by representatives from Alibaba.”

The report said the Megaspeed employee characterized the company’s relationship with Jensen as “very close” and corroborated a former Nvidia employee’s suggestion that Nvidia employees wondered if there was a special relationship with the company.

Jensen Huang disclosed over the weekend that he was “unfaithful to my wife” and that he was “deeply sorry” for his actions. He did not elaborate on the relationship.

He also said that he fell short of his responsibilities to Nvidia and that he wants to earn back the confidence of those associated with the company.

Huang’s statement acknowledged the national security concerns raised in reports about the relationship with Alice Huang and said he will support and cooperate fully with the board of directors’ investigation, adding that “I love our country and our company. I am committed to protecting Nvidia and supporting America’s national security.”

Nvidia’s board of directors opened the independent investigation into the matter, which will be led by a committee of independent directors assisted by independent outside counsel.

“While the Board has no reason to believe that either national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised, the Board’s inquiry will examine all available information,” the directors said in a statement.
