NVIDIA's general counsel requested a meeting with U.S. investigators... related to the Megaspeed investigation

Nvidia ($NVDA) legal chief Tim Teter requested a meeting in August 2025 with U.S. Commerce Department Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) investigators regarding their probe of Singapore-based firm Megaspeed, according to The New York Times. Teter said in an email that Under Secretary for Industry and Security Jeffrey Kessler had agreed to the contact, but investigators declined the meeting request and forwarded the email to Kessler. Kessler responded that investigators should handle the case "by the book," and a Commerce official said he did not instruct them to provide Nvidia with information or grant a meeting. The episode matters because it signals potential friction between Nvidia and the agency enforcing U.S. export controls, with Megaspeed at the center of scrutiny over whether advanced chips reached restricted buyers. What to watch next is whether BIS escalates the Megaspeed case and whether Nvidia secures direct engagement with senior Commerce officials.
