Nvidia Senior Manager Linked to Supermicro Scheme Smuggling AI Servers to China
After the US arrested Supermicro co-founder Wally Liaw over an alleged $2.5B shipment of restricted AI servers to China, Taiwan opened a separate probe. Authorities say indicted insiders coordinated with Nvidia and Supermicro despite export-control controls. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang previously criticized Supermicro’s weak compliance and Supermicro later updated its program and fired staff tied to the scheme.
