Megaspeed's links to rural Australian store raise fresh questions in Nvidia scandal
NVDA•Filings show Megaspeed International registered affiliates in the United States, Australia, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand, with 29-year-old Kai Kang listed as an officer and an address at a newsagency in regional Victoria. Kang’s mother said he was based in Shanghai and had nothing to do with Megaspeed.
1. Filings list Kang
Megaspeed International registered affiliates in the United States and Australia in 2024, according to company filings. The filings name Kai Kang, 29, as the sole officer and list Singapore-based Megaspeed International as the Australian affiliate’s stockholder; Reuters checks found Kang also listed as director of the company’s Malaysian, Indonesian and Thai units.
2. Address at newsagency
The Australian filing gave an address at Seymour News, a newsagency and lottery retailer in Seymour, Victoria. A woman who said she was Kang’s mother and ran the store said he did not work there, was based in Shanghai and had nothing to do with the Singapore company. The Australian affiliate also lists a Sydney virtual-office address.
3. Company under scrutiny
Megaspeed has drawn scrutiny over whether it helped Chinese customers obtain Nvidia chips subject to US export controls. Singapore police said last October they were investigating the company over suspected breaches of domestic laws. Megaspeed’s website describes it as an Nvidia Cloud Partner in Asia-Pacific and offers access to Nvidia GB200 NVL72 and HGX H100 systems.
