DOJ unsealed an indictment charging three individuals -- including a Supermicro co-founder who sat on its board until the day charges were filed -- with smuggling AI-chip-laden servers to China through a Southeast Asian transshipment scheme. The company was never charged, and its own board-led investigation cleared CEO Charles Liang of any knowledge. The case lands squarely on Supermicro's three-decade, personally rooted partnership with Nvidia's own Jensen Huang.
