Greg Lui, the 38-year-old owner of Earthmade Computer Inc. in the City of Industry, was arrested Thursday after federal prosecutors charged him with allegedly smuggling more than $300 million of high-end servers containing U.S.-manufactured Nvidia chips to China. The indictment alleges Lui and co-conspirators falsely identified Malaysia and Singapore as the destinations, then used freight-forwarding companies to send the equipment onward to China. Prosecutors cite a $7.6 million order for 27 Nvidia H100-equipped servers and say Earthmade received more than $176 million from two Malaysia-based shipment companies in 2024. Lui faces conspiracy to violate export controls, outbound smuggling and conspiracy to commit money laundering charges. The case comes amid U.S. debate over advanced-chip exports and artificial-intelligence regulation.
