A post says US prosecutors accuse Earthmade Computer owner Greg Lui of smuggling more than $300 million in export-controlled AI servers to China. Prosecutors allege he and co-conspirators bought servers from US manufacturers in 2023 and 2024, routed them through Malaysia and Singapore, and that manufacturers received false paperwork about their end users and destinations. The post also says Lui allegedly ordered 27 servers fitted with Nvidia H100 GPUs for about $7.614 million in January 2024.
