Super Micro is a technology company that designs, develops, and manufactures high-performance server and storage systems, primarily for artificial intelligence (โ€œAIโ€), data center, and cloud solutions customers.

The announcement stated these activities were done โ€œall to drive sales and generate revenues in violation of U.S. lawโ€ and enabled the sale of โ€œapproximately $2.5 billion worth of serversโ€ between 2024 and 2025.

According to the DOJ, Yih-Shyan Liaw (the Companyโ€™s co-founder, director, and Senior Vice President of Business Development), Ruei-Tsang Chang (โ€œa general manager in the [Super Microโ€™s] Taiwan office,โ€ and Ting-Wei Sun (โ€œa third-party broker and fixerโ€) โ€œconspired to systematically divert [Super Microโ€™s] servers with certain GPUs to China without a license to do so from the U.S. Department of Commerce.โ€ According to media reports, the GPUs are Nvidiaโ€™s most advanced AI chips.
