"The US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York has charged three people with illegally exporting NVIDIA GPUs to China in violation of the Export Control Reform Act. NVIDIA's chips have become a critical component in the rush to train and run increasingly complex artificial intelligence models."
"The three people, Yih-Shyan 'Wally' Liaw, Ruei-Tsang 'Steven' Chang and Ting-Wei 'Willy' Sun, allegedly circumvented export control laws via a multi-step scheme that involved creating fake orders for servers with NVIDIA chips from Southeast Asian companies, that were then secretly sent to China."
"The DOJ claims Liaw, Chang and Sun facilitated the illegal purchase of $2.5 billion worth of servers between 2024 and 2025 in direct violation of US export laws. Super Micro Computer is not named as a defendant in the US Attorney's indictment, but the company's stock price has been impacted by the scheme."
Three individuals were charged with illegally exporting NVIDIA GPUs to China, violating the Export Control Reform Act. They allegedly created fake orders for servers containing NVIDIA chips, which were sent to China after being repackaged in Taiwan. The scheme involved staging dummy servers for inspection and falsifying records. The Department of Justice claims they facilitated the illegal purchase of $2.5 billion worth of servers. Super Micro Computer distanced itself from the individuals charged, whose actions impacted the company's stock price.
