The US Justice Department is looking into Alice Huang, a 49-year-old, for possibly sneaking Super Micro Computer gear (linked to NVIDIA) into China.
This is part of a separate DOJ investigation, with Huang's former company, Megaspeed International, also under scrutiny for allegedly shipping NVIDIA chips overseas.
So far, Super Micro has not been charged.
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang steps down
The case comes as NVIDIA faces big changes: CEO Jensen Huang has stepped down.
Earlier this year, Super Micro co-founder Wally Liaw was charged for allegedly trying to send NVIDIA-powered servers to China, but pleaded not guilty.
Meanwhile, China has called the accusations against Alice Huang "smear." She is currently in Beijing and could not be reached for comment.
