US probes if Alice Huang helped smuggle Super Micro products
It is being led by the US attorney’s office in Manhattan
The US Attorney's Office in Manhattan is investigating Alice Huang, a woman suspected of espionage, over potential involvement in smuggling Super Micro products to China. This probe is separate from other cases where charges have already been filed, including a March indictment involving Super Micro co-founder Wally Liaw and others.
Super Micro has stated they are cooperating with the investigation. Huang and her associates, who are currently in Beijing, are being looked at in relation to her connections to former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who recently admitted to an extramarital affair and resigned as CEO of the company. The US Justice Department is probing Huang's relationship with Huang, as well as her role in alleged semiconductor smuggling.
The scandal surrounding Huang and Jensen Huang's actions is casting a shadow over the rapidly growing artificial intelligence industry.
