Original: A 38-year-old tech executive was arrested outside his California company, accused by federal prosecutors of helping smug

Federal prosecutors have charged Greg Lui, a 38-year-old tech executive, with helping smuggle more than $300 million worth of export-controlled computer servers to China.

The case highlights ongoing US enforcement of export controls on advanced computing hardware bound for China.
