Federal prosecutors charged three men linked to Super Micro
Computer Inc. in a sweeping scheme to smuggle billions of
dollars in U.S. artificial intelligence technology to China
using fake documents, shell companies and staged equipment,
officials said.

The defendants allegedly diverted $2.5 billion worth of AI
servers — including $510 million in just a few weeks in 2025 —
to China.

Yih-Shyan Liaw, 71, a U.S. citizen, and Ting-Wei Sun, 44, of
Taiwan, were arrested Thursday, while a third individual,
Ruei-Tsang Chang, 53, also of Taiwan, remains at large.

   Aw shit ! Too bad ! SO sad !

   SuperMicro makes great stuff.

   Sometime back I set up one of their mini-box PCs
   as a router/firewall. Small board in small box
   with JUST enough space to add a mini SATA drive.
   Plenty powerful. It also had a plethora of interfaces,
   some for equipment/standards even I had never heard
   of before, 'industrial' stuff. Yer total embedded
   solution. Impressive.

   But now ... why would I give them a penny - it'd
   likely be used to arm our enemies.
