The FBI has charged a Chinese national and two Americans with conspiracy to commit smuggling and export control violations on Wednesday.

The three defendants, Stanley Yi Zheng, Matthew Kelly and Tommy Shad English, were accused of seeking millions of dollars’ worth of export-controlled computer chips from a California-based company to be shipped to China via Thailand.

“Zheng, Kelly, and English allegedly conspired to sell millions of dollars’ worth of American-made AI computer chips to buyers in China, in clear violation of U.S. export controls,” said Assistant Director Roman Rozhavsky of the FBI’s Counterintelligence and Espionage Division.
