Is Super Micro Complying with International Sanctions and Export Controls?

Question

Has Super Micro Computer complied with all international sanctions and export controls all through the years?

Answer 1

The Hindenburg Research short report accuses Super Micro of breaking sanctions and export controls, especially those connected to Russia. Still, it has not yet been proved that Super Micro acted out deliberately in any violation. The company ought to ascertain adherence to regulations applicable everywhere and refute such claims with overwhelming evidence for the comfort of shareholders.

tbh the export controls issue looks very suspicious, I happen to be involved in export control and audit, and they should have systems that flag up customers that have blacklisted on export controls. Usually any flag gets reviewed by financial officers who should be audited. There is potential for problems if they haven’t implemented adequate internal audit standards, that should be part of their annual external auditors report.
