US arrests tech CEO accused of smuggling $300M in Nvidia chips into China
摘要
美国司法部逮捕了计算机公司Earthmade CEO Greg Lui，指控其通过伪造文件，将价值超3亿美元的出口管制英伟达芯片服务器走私至中国。起诉书称，他与马来西亚、新加坡等地的货运代理公司合谋，非法转运包括A100和H100 GPU在内的芯片。美方担忧这些芯片可用于训练大语言模型，可能带来国家安全风险。
The US has arrested another suspect accused of smuggling high-end computer servers containing export-controlled Nvidia chips into China.
In a press release on Thursday, the Department of Justice accused 38-year-old Greg Lui of using false paperwork to mask shipments of servers worth more than $300 million that he allegedly knew were ultimately destined for China.
As the CEO of Earthmade Computer, Lui allegedly conspired with freight-forwarding firms in South Asian countries like Malaysia and Singapore to illegally divert chip shipments into China, including Nvidia’s A100 GPUs and H100 GPUs, the FBI’s indictment alleged. These are not Nvidia’s most advanced chips. However, the chips can process large amounts of data and train large language models, which the US fears could pose national security risks if China suddenly gets access to enough chips to drastically advance its AI or strengthen its military.
