Man charged by US over illegal shipment of Nvidia chips to China
Greg Lui of Earthmade Computer Inc worked with unidentified co-conspirators to ship servers containing the restricted chips to buyers in China without the required US licences.
Federal prosecutors in the United States have arrested a California man on charges of smuggling $300 million worth of Nvidia Corp artificial intelligence chips to China, in violation of US export controls. Greg Lui, the owner of Earthmade Computer Inc, worked with unidentified co-conspirators from 2023 to 2024 to ship servers containing restricted chips to Chinese buyers without the required US licenses.
The charges include conspiracy to violate export controls, outbound smuggling, and conspiracy to commit money laundering. Lui, 38, is expected to be arraigned later in the day and faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted. Prosecutors allege that Lui used false paperwork and shipped the servers through Malaysia and Singapore before they reached their final destination in China.
