Supermicro refutes claims that its Taipei office was raided by Taiwanese authorities amid an Nvidia GPU smuggling investigation. The company asserts that it is cooperating with the investigation and voluntarily provided access to workstations and devices of suspected employees.
Taiwanese authorities are investigating alleged smuggling of Nvidia AI GPUs by Supermicro employees.
This probe is part of a broader effort to prevent exports of restricted items to China.
Supermicro's Chief Revenue Officer stated that the company cooperated with authorities, clarifying that there was no raid at their office.
Supermicro has been working with the authorities since May, asserting zero tolerance for legal violations.
Taiwan's investigation operates under interpretations of regulations not as stringent as U.S. export controls.
Similar investigations in Singapore have led to substantial asset seizures related to AI GPU smuggling.
In addition to the Taiwan investigation, U.S. authorities have arrested three individuals linked to Supermicro for conspiring to violate export controls.
The accused allegedly altered serial numbers on banned servers before shipment to China.
