Reports describe an alleged smuggling operation involving Nvidia GPUs valued at around $300 million, with four specific chip models named in the case. The scheme reportedly involved illegally moving export-restricted Nvidia hardware, likely to destinations barred under US export controls on advanced chips. Details about who is implicated and where the chips were headed remain limited, and authorities have not confirmed the reported figure.
