summary: "Nvidia denied wrongdoing in a US probe into smuggled AI chips to China, asserting it follows export laws as written rather than critics' preferences, while regulators investigate systemic failures in preventing high-end processors from reaching adversaries. The scrutiny follows the arrest of Earthmade Computers owner Greg Lui, accused of smuggling over $300 million in restricted Nvidia servers through Malaysia and Singapore between 2023 and 2024."
