The Justice Department announced on 1 October 2026 that the owner of a San Gabriel Valley technology company was arrested on a three-count federal indictment.

The indictment charges Greg Lui, 38, of San Gabriel, California, with smuggling more than $300 million worth of export-controlled high-end computer servers containing U.S.-made GPUs to China.

Lui is charged with one count of conspiracy to violate the Export Control Reform Act and the Export Administration Regulations, one count of outbound smuggling, and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering.

According to the indictment, which was returned on 29 September, Lui owns Earthmade Computer Inc. of City of Industry and shipped the servers to Malaysia and Singapore, where no license is required, then re-exported them to China.

The Justice Department says Earthmade received more than $176 million from two Malaysia-based shipment companies between January and October 2024.

In one example, Lui submitted a purchase order in January 2024 for 27 servers for about $7,614,000, shipped from Los Angeles to Kuala Lumpur, and a co-conspirator later wrote that they had been transshipped to a buyer in China.

If convicted of all charges Lui faces a maximum of 20 years on the conspiracy count, 20 years on the money laundering count and 10 years on the smuggling count. The Justice Department says an indictment is merely an allegation and that all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
