Chuan Geng and Shiwei Yang have been arrested for exporting sensitive microchips to China, violating the Export Control Reform Act, with potential consequences of 20 years in prison.
The charges stem from allegations that the two knowingly exported technology without proper licensing, using their company, ALX Solutions, Inc., over nearly three years.
Their company conducted at least 21 illegal shipments of AI-related microchips via intermediaries in Singapore and Malaysia, locations often used to facilitate illicit trade.
Geng is a lawful permanent resident and Yang, who overstayed her visa, founded ALX Solutions shortly after the government required licenses for the microchips they exported.
