Taiwan issues indictments over alleged illegal export of AI servers to China
Nine people, including Nvidia and Super Micro employees, face charges over the alleged export of high-end AI servers to Chinese customers.
Taiwan prosecutors have indicted nine individuals, including employees from Nvidia and Super Micro, for their alleged involvement in the illegal export of AI servers to China. Taiwan is the world's largest producer of advanced chips used in AI applications, and the country has been enforcing strict export controls on such semiconductors since 2022.
Eight people, including an employee from Nvidia's Taiwan unit and two from Super Micro's Taiwan unit, were charged with breach of trust and document forgery. The indictment stemmed from the alleged scheme to export 130 B300 servers to China, with 74 ultimately reaching Chinese customers via multiple routes. Super Micro stated that it is not a target of the investigation and has not been accused of any wrongdoing.
The defendants were aware of the rigorous internal control procedures at Nvidia and Super Micro, but allegedly colluded to illegally export the high-end servers for personal profit and to damage Taiwan's international image.
