Taiwanese prosecutors have charged nine individuals, including employees from Nvidia and Super Micro, with illegally exporting banned high-end AI servers — specifically Nvidia B300 GPUs — to mainland China in violation of U.S. export controls. A total of 74 servers were successfully smuggled through routes involving Indonesia, Japan, and Hong Kong, while a further 56 servers were intercepted and remain in Taiwan. Prosecutors are seeking maximum five-year sentences for four of the defendants, including an Nvidia manager identified as a key figure in authorising the illegal releases.
