据鲍勃·范沃里斯报道，法庭文件显示，一名男子与超微电脑公司联合创始人李以善（Yih-Shyan “Wally” Liaw）一同被指控合谋违反美国出口管制规定，将尖端芯片运往中国。该男子现已认罪。
A man charged along with Super Micro Computer Inc. co-founder Yih-Shyan “Wally” Liaw of conspiring to send cutting-edge chips to China in violation of US export controls pleaded guilty, according to court documents.
根据法庭记录，被称为“中间人”的前外部承包商孙廷伟（Ting-Wei “Willy” Sun）于周四在纽约联邦法院举行的听证会上，作为与检方达成认罪协议的一部分而认罪。检方指控称，这些人合谋将搭载英伟达芯片的服务器先发往一家东南亚公司，随后再转卖给中国客户。
Ting-Wei “Willy” Sun, a former outside contractor described by US authorities as a “fixer” who allegedly aided in the sales, pleaded guilty Thursday at a hearing in federal court in New York as part of an agreement with prosecutors, according to court filings. Prosecutors claimed the men were part of a scheme to send Nvidia Corp.-powered servers to an unnamed Southeast Asian company and then divert them to Chinese customers.
此案属于美国针对向中国走私受限人工智能技术所开展的一次重大执法行动。今年8月，超微电脑公司在完成独立调查后声明，现任高层管理人员对该阴谋毫不知情。
The charges came in a high-profile crackdown on alleged smuggling of restricted AI technology to China. Super Micro said in August, following an independent probe, that its current senior management had no knowledge of the purported scheme.
孙廷伟的辩护律师詹姆斯·J·本杰明拒绝置评。判决日期定于2027年9月8日。
James J. Benjamin Jr., a lawyer for Sun, declined to comment. A sentencing date was scheduled for Sept. 8, 2027.
李以善目前仍坚称自己无罪。美国方面还起诉了曾任超微电脑台湾分公司总经理的张瑞增（Ruei-Tsang “Steven” Chang），但张尚未出庭。
Liaw has pleaded not guilty in the case. The US also charged Ruei-Tsang “Steven” Chang, who served as a general manager in Super Micro’s Taiwan office. Chang has not appeared in the case.
起诉书指出，涉案人员试图逃避超微电脑公司及美国政府审计人员的审查，手段包括伪造记录，甚至用吹风机修改服务器序列号以制造“假服务器”。
The scheme allegedly involved efforts by the defendants and others to evade scrutiny by auditors from both Super Micro and the US government, an indictment said — including by falsifying records and setting up “dummy” servers to which they affixed serial numbers with a hair dryer.
超微电脑公司并未被列为被告。这家总部位于加州圣何塞的企业今年早些时候表示，正配合美国当局调查，并已对李以善和张瑞增实施停职处理，同时终止了与孙廷伟的合作关系。
Super Micro isn’t named as a defendant in the case. The San Jose, California-based company said in a statement earlier this year that it was cooperating with US authorities, and added that it had put Liaw and Chang on administrative leave and ended its relationship with Sun.
本案案号为US v. Liaw, 26-cr-00100，由纽约南区联邦地方法院负责审理。
The case is US v. Liaw, 26-cr-00100, US District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).
