US prosecutors have Driver Charged With Using $2M in COVID Relief Funds to Buy Crypto">charged three men, reportedly connected to Super Micro Computer, with smuggling billions of dollars worth of AI chips to China. The charges involve alleged violations of export restrictions on advanced semiconductor technology. Super Micro Computer's stock has fallen sharply following news of the charges against executives reportedly tied to the company.
