NYT reports US intelligence suspects a Megaspeed executive of being a Chinese intelligence asset, with close contact with the Nvidia CEO. Nvidia says contacts were routine; China's embassy calls it groundless.
Singapore government clarification: officials did not say they were concerned about the executive, and there is no investigation of her; a legal-compliance probe of Megaspeed continues. (Page header says 30 Oct; AFP says 'at the weekend'.)
Nvidia board announces an independent investigation into whether the CEO was the target of a foreign intelligence effort; says it has no reason to believe national security or company secrets were compromised.
Commerce Department inquiry into Megaspeed reportedly transferred to the Justice Department (weakly sourced: one Chinese-language recap, no English original read).
