The U.S. Department of Commerce’s trade blacklist did not include Megaspeed on Nov. 10. The New York Times reported that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) was continuing a criminal investigation into suspected Nvidia AI chip transfers to China.
The DOJ requested the case from Commerce while investigating whether Singapore-based data center company Megaspeed diverted Nvidia AI chips covered by U.S. export restrictions, The New York Times reported. That request led Commerce to put its inquiry on hold, The New York Times reported.
An earlier EconoTimes report on Commerce’s pause covered the agency’s response to the request.
