輝達前執行長黃仁勳出軌對象、疑為中國間諜的黃樂曾任新加坡科技集團Megaspeed董事,該公司曾經手價值數十億美元的輝達AI晶片。然而法新社發現,Megaspeed及其馬來西亞子公司的辦公室皆已人去樓空。

法新社記者實地走訪Megaspeed的辦公室,發現裡面空無一人;公司員工似乎早在間諜指控找上門前,就已消失無蹤。

Megaspeed前董事黃樂(Alice Huang)遭懷疑是中國間諜,並被指控與黃仁勳發生婚外情期間,替北京刺探輝達(NVIDIA)公司機密。

黃樂的個人資訊相當模糊,幾乎無法確定她住在哪裡、在哪裡工作或何時出生。

儘管如此,她的影響力無疑遍及各地,從不起眼的新加坡辦公室、龐大的東南亞資料中心,一路延伸至光鮮亮麗的矽谷企業會議室。

她與雲端運算公司Megaspeed的關係,是這起醜聞的核心。

Megaspeed自稱是人工智慧(AI)革命的核心企業,運用輝達先進晶片支援大型資料中心的高效能運算;但這家公司也因涉嫌從事另有隱藏目的的業務而遭到調查。

據指控,Megaspeed以替旗下東南亞資料中心採購電腦硬體為掩護,將輝達晶片運往中國,協助北京規避貿易限制。

在Megaspeed位於新加坡商業區中心的辦公室,玻璃門深鎖,裡面不見任何員工。鄰居告訴法新社,過去幾個月都沒看到有人進出。

在馬來西亞柔佛州(Johor),位於新開發社區一座購物中心的Megaspeed子公司Speedmatrix的辦公室,同樣不見員工蹤影。

公司登記資料顯示,黃樂直接參與了Megaspeed的創立。

根據資料,一家與她有關的公司2023年初收購了中國遊戲開發商第七大道(7Road)的新加坡子公司7Road International,並改名為Megaspeed International。

黃樂登記擔任Megaspeed董事的時間不到1年,任期為2023年3月至11月。

她加入公司時,正值Megaspeed的營運境況出現劇變,公司從一家名不見經傳的遊戲開發商,轉型為亞洲最大的輝達晶片買家之一。

根據公司2024年提交的財報,Megaspeed的營收於12個月內從零躍升至將近3億美元。

同一時期,自稱「雲端託管服務供應商」的Megaspeed,其資產也從3200萬美元暴增至將近30億美元。

據報導,Megaspeed在2年間交易的輝達晶片價值超過40億美元。

橫跨新加坡、馬來西亞與開曼群島的資金流向顯示,Megaspeed的業務成長可能受益於其與中國科技巨擘阿里巴巴的關係。

在2024年,Speedmatrix與新加坡公司Apex Enterprise Solutions簽訂協議,將公司資產作為擔保,以防未來發生違約情事。

根據路透查閱的紀錄,新加坡商業註冊文件顯示,Apex曾向Speedmatrix提供融資。

新加坡公司登記資料顯示,Apex透過一家母公司,與註冊於開曼群島的阿里巴巴集團控股(Alibaba Group Holding)有關聯。

Megaspeed的最終控股公司,是一家名為Swiftdata的新加坡企業。新加坡商人陳勇邦(Tan Yong Pong,音譯)同時擔任Megaspeed與Swiftdata的董事。

法新社實際走訪陳勇邦在新加坡東部的登記地址時,儘管聽見門後傳來狗吠聲,但無人應門。

一名年長鄰居告訴法新社:「他們很友善。我偶爾會在電梯口碰到(住在那裡的)那位女士去遛狗,但我們已經好幾個月沒看到他們了。」

黃樂位於一個企業網絡的中心,與眾多空殼公司、投資機構與大型中國科技企業有所關聯。

在香港公司登記資料中,她被列為南京領行科技(Nanjing Lingxing Technology)的董事,該企業在中國經營熱門叫車平台T3出行。

南京領行科技其他知名投資者包括阿里巴巴與騰訊,以及中國第一汽車(China FAW)、東風汽車集團(Dongfeng Motor Group)等中國國有車廠。

Chen Xinren, a Pingtung man with a history of domestic violence, ignored the protection order issued by the court. After being arrested by the police and warned by the prosecutor on September 1, he returned to his grandmother's house again that night to beg for money. When she was refused, he covered her mouth and nose with a pillow and beat her with a rag. The Pingtung District Court sentenced him to 5 months' imprisonment and a fine of 150,000 yuan for two counts of violating a protection order. The whole case can still be appealed.
