MHA clarifies it did not investigate former Megaspeed executive’s ties to China   https://www.zaobao.com.sg/en/news/singapore/mha-clarifies-it-did-not-investigate-former-megaspeed-executives-ties-china?fbclid=IwdGRjcAVgjMljbGNrBWCMmGV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHBkb2YFc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMzUwNjg1NTMxNzI4AAEfuHcJuFhe6Tk2g2MKhK_gIj6QBm_lIKAbJsAtZ8GhjshuieoYfOrcwxV52IA_aem_IfiNe2Kzx7278vt0I1Rsdw   Full Summary: Singapore MHA Clarifies Megaspeed / Alice Huang Reports   Core Background   On 30 October 2026, The Wall Street Journal published a report claiming Singapore officials were concerned that former Megaspeed executive Alice Huang had close ties to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, and suspected she supplied intelligence to Chinese intelligence agencies. The report also stated Singapore authorities had investigated Huang’s links to China.   Singapore MHA’s Official Clarification (31 Oct 2026)   Singapore’s Ministry of Home Affairs issued a formal statement directly rejecting the WSJ’s claims:   1. Neither the Singapore Government nor any Singapore official stated the alleged concerns about Alice Huang’s relationship with Jensen Huang or accusations that she passed intelligence to China. 2. Singapore authorities did NOT conduct any investigation into Alice Huang’s ties to China. 3. The Singapore Police Force’s written reply to WSJ’s queries on 30 October only confirmed that investigations targeting the company Megaspeed were still ongoing. The police response made no mention of Alice Huang, Jensen Huang, Chinese intelligence concerns, or any probe into Huang herself.   Key Facts About Megaspeed   - Megaspeed, previously named 7Road International, was registered in Singapore in 2015, according to ACRA records. - Between February 2025 and July 2026, four individuals and four companies were charged in court over an alleged scheme to defraud server suppliers. If convicted, the offences carry a maximum sentence of 20 years’ imprisonment.   Singapore’s Stated Position on Export Controls   The Singapore Police Force also set out the government’s stance:   - Singapore does not enforce unilateral export controls imposed by other countries. - However, Singapore will not tolerate companies using Singapore’s name as a cover to evade or break foreign export-control rules. It will take firm action against anyone or any firm that breaks Singaporean law or commits fraud or dishonesty.   US Investigation & Nvidia’s Response   - Separate from Singapore’s domestic probe, US authorities are investigating Alice Huang over claims she may be working as an agent for China and helping to bypass US export bans on high-end technology. - On 29 October, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang responded publicly: - Business contact between Nvidia and Megaspeed was ordinary commercial activity. - Alice Huang had already left Megaspeed. - Nvidia had not received any official notice from US authorities about espionage allegations before the news reports broke. - Nvidia carried out a full audit and inventory of all GPUs sent to Megaspeed, tracing the destination of every chip. Nvidia concluded that Megaspeed had not improperly re‑exported high‑performance chips to China, and Jensen Huang said he believed US regulators had also completed similar checks.  

German Man Cheats Recycling Machine Out of Over USD47,000 Using a Single Bottle   A drinks vendor in Cologne, Germany was recently tried and convicted to ten months in prison for modifying a bottle recycling machine and cheating the swindling several tens of thousands of euros from the national recycling system.   Bottle-recycling machines in Germany are fairly straightforward – a person inserts one or more bottles into the machine and they receive a receipt for a few euro-cents, or euros, depending on the number of bottles recycled. But in a case presented in front of a Cologne court last week, one recycling machine ended up paying a whopping €44,362.75 ($47,000) without recycling a single bottle. It turns out that an unnamed local drinks vendor managed to modify one such recycling machine located in the basement of his shop so that he could earn a lot more than the usual spare change. Evidence presented during the trial showed that the 37-year-old defendant had installed a magnet sensor and a kind of wooden tunnel into the machine, which allowed him to insert the bottle into the mechanism, receive his receipt and then retrieve the bottle without it actually getting shredded inside. Photo: Mattes/Wikimedia Commons If you’re wondering how many times the man had to insert and retrieve that one bottle to earn a total of $47,000, the exact number is 177,451 times. The judge presiding over this case called the scam a “logistical master stroke”, adding that must have “done nothing else every day other than attend to the machine.” And while it is unknown exactly how long it took the drinks vendor to repeat the process 177,451, he did have this to say on the matter: “I had a radio next to it because otherwise it was really boring.” The defendant revealed that he had invested around €5,000 in modifying the machine, which is very little money compared to how much he was able to earn from the scam. And he would have probably reached a six figure sum if he had just kept his mouth shut about it. According to the Kölner Stadt Anzeiger newspaper, the Deutsche Pfandsystem Gesellschaft, the company responsible for bottle-recycling machine distribution and payments across Germany, hadn’t even noticed anything fishy about this particular machine until an undercover detective received an anonymous tip-off about it. The detective responsible for uncovering the money swindling operation told reporters that this scam is unlikely to be a one-off, and that the recycling system is probably suffering losses into the millions of euros. The defendant’s lawyer also stated in court that her client “did not invent the scam, but merely copied it.”   German Man Cheats Recycling Machine Out of Over $47,000 Using a Single Bottle – Oddity Central – Collecting Oddities
