Two Chinese nationals, Chuan Geng and Shiwei Yang, face charges for allegedly orchestrating an illegal scheme to export millions of dollars' worth of powerful Nvidia AI chips from the US to China.

• The DoJ alleges their company, ALX Solutions, shipped Nvidia H100 GPUs without required licenses over the last three years.
• Mr. Geng is a permanent resident of California, while Ms. Yang is an illegal alien who overstayed her visa.
• Shipments, including a December 2023 consignment, were allegedly routed through transit hubs in Singapore and Malaysia to conceal final delivery to China, with one invoice valued at over $28.4 million.
