"The Department of Justice unsealed an indictment naming Yih-Shyan 'Wally' Liaw and two others as defendants, accusing them of conspiring to sell billions' worth of high-performance servers with GPUs to China."
"Liaw and Chang engaged key executives at a company based in Southeast Asia to place purchase orders with Supermicro for high-spec servers fitted with GPUs, which were then shipped to Taiwan."
"After delivery, the defendants arranged for the systems to be repackaged in unmarked boxes before being shipped onward to their final destinations in China."
Yih-Shyan 'Wally' Liaw, a co-founder of Supermicro, and two others are charged with diverting Nvidia GPU servers to China, violating US export controls. The indictment alleges they used false documents and dummy servers to mislead inspectors. Liaw and Ruei-Tsang 'Steven' Chang were arrested, while Ting-Wei 'Willy' Sun remains at large. They conspired to smuggle goods and defraud the US by facilitating the sale of high-performance servers to an Asian intermediary, who then repackaged and shipped them to China.
