HONG KONG (AP) — Megaspeed, the data center company at the center of the scandal engulfing Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, pledged Thursday to cooperate with an investigation into potential risks to U.S. national security.
Nvidia’s board, meanwhile, was reportedly meeting to discuss Huang’s future after revelations that he was having an affair with a former Megaspeed executive suspected of being a Chinese government agent.
There was no word as of early Thursday on any outcome from those discussions.
In its first statement since Huang admitted to having an affair with a Chinese woman and former executive of the company, Singapore-headquartered Megaspeed International said Thursday that it takes its obligation to comply with U.S. export control laws “extremely seriously.”
“Megaspeed is committed to working constructively and transparently with the U.S. government,” said the statement signed by its chairman and CEO, Tan Yong Pong, who also goes by James Tan.
Nvidia has said it had “no reason to believe” that either national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised, but that its inquiry would examine all available information.
