Bloomberg: Nvidia General Counsel Intervened in US Probe of Megaspeed AI Chip Smuggling

According to Bloomberg, Nvidia Corp.’s general counsel Tim Teter called Commerce Under Secretary Jeffrey Kessler in late summer 2025 to ask about a U.S. government investigation into Megaspeed International. Kessler oversees U.S. chip export curbs. The probe centers on suspected smuggling of AI chips by the Singapore-based firm. Bloomberg said Teter’s intervention came as questions grew over whether the Trump administration played a role in detaining an executive from Megaspeed who is now at the center of the case.
