3 men charged with conspiring to sneak advanced Nvidia chips to China

A senior vice president of Super Micro Computer Inc. and two others affiliated with the company have been charged with conspiring to smuggle billions of dollars of computer servers containing advanced Nvidia chips to China. U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton announced the arrests late Thursday, saying the men violated U.S. export controls laws by scheming to divert the high-performance servers assembled in the United States to China. An indictment alleges that two of the men directed executives of a company in Southeast Asia to place orders for $2.5 billion worth of servers from Super Micro Computer, a U.S. manufacturer, between 2024 and 2025. Authorities say the scheme became more brazen as time went on.

Federal prosecutors charged Super Micro co-founder with diverting $2.5 billion in Nvidia AI servers to China through a Southeast Asian front company. Defendants allegedly used hair dryers to swap serial numbers on dummy servers to fool auditors. Super Micro stock fell 33%. The case highlights potential gaps in export control enforcement as Washington restricts AI chip exports.

Commerce Department drafts rules requiring US approval for virtually all Nvidia and AMD AI chip exports globally. Tiered system would demand host government investment in US infrastructure for orders above 200,000 GPUs. White House officials already pushing back on the framework. Could reshape how AI computing power flows worldwide.
