Supermicro investigation clears CEO in $2.5 billion alleged smuggling scheme
Fortune 46
Super Micro Computer said its independent board-led investigation found no evidence that current senior management knew about an alleged $2.5 billion hardware smuggling scheme involving Nvidia chips to China. The report was filed after DOJ charged co-founder and board member Yih-Shyan “Wally” Liaw in March 2026. The company says it has finished its internal probe and took personnel actions in sales and support related functions, but authorities in Taiwan and a separate New York grand jury subpoena are still active.
