US Justice Department nabs smugglers behind $160M Nvidia‑chip export ring to China
The post US Justice Department nabs smugglers behind $160M Nvidia‑chip export ring to China appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The US Justice Department on Tuesday confirmed it shut down a China‑linked smuggling ring that moved or tried to move more than $160 million worth of Nvidia AI chips out of the United States and into banned markets, according to the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Texas.

Authorities said Alan ran his pipeline by falsifying shipping records, mislabeling the GPUs, and hiding their real destinations across China, Hong Kong, and other banned locations. Investigators tracked more than $50 million in money tied to China that flowed into the operation to fund the purchases. Alan remains free on bond and faces up to 10 years in prison at sentencing on February 18. Hao Global LLC could face fines up to twice its illegal profits and be placed on probation. A…
