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.
In March, US prosecutors charged Greg Lui, the co-founder of Earthmade Computer Inc, with smuggling computer servers containing $300 million worth of Nvidia AI chips to China. Lui is accused of working with unidentified co-conspirators between 2023 and 2024 to ship servers to Chinese buyers without the required US licenses. He faces charges of conspiracy to violate export controls, outbound smuggling, and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
Prosecutors allege that Lui used false paperwork and shipped the equipment through third countries like Malaysia and Singapore to avoid US export controls. If convicted, Lui could face over 20 years in prison.
