According to ChainCatcher, Nvidia's general counsel Tim Teter called U.S. Commerce Department Deputy Secretary Jeffrey Kessler in summer 2025 to inquire about Singapore police's detention of Huang Le, who was under investigation for alleged illegal transfer of Nvidia AI chips through his company Megaspeed. Within weeks of the call, Bureau of Industrial Security (BIS) investigators received new requirements restricting direct contact with Nvidia without Kessler's approval and prohibiting external communications from mentioning Megaspeed or its Malaysia subsidiary. By end of 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice requested Commerce Department halt its investigation and assume criminal jurisdiction. Nvidia stated the contact was intended to provide information and assist in blocking illegal chip transfers.
