alt Hacker NewsHow illegal is it for a CEO to sell goods (potentially a core component used in military weapons) to a foreign government after your government said not to?

Considering the Trump admin flipflopped between
- we can't allow China access to buy or lease any GPUs
and
- turns out China is half the customer base, so cutting them off will crash the market, and the Chinese will just build their own anyways
Considering Trump & Jensen traveled to China just to sell more GPUs and despite that the CCP banned Chinese companies from importing Western Hardware in favor of domestic alternatives, I have my doubts this story makes sense

Very? Unless you're doing it as part of some CIA operation and even then you better hope you can prove it.
Up to 20 years in prison if you knew about it.
More likely would be large fines and possibly restrictions and audits of all future exports.
