Two Chinese nationals, Chuan Geng (28, Pasadena) and Shiwei Yang (28, El Monte), were arrested on Saturday on charges of illegally exporting tens of millions of dollars' worth of sensitive microchips used in artificial intelligence (AI) applications to China. This violation of the Export Control Reform Act carries a potential penalty of up to 20 years in federal prison.
The arrests stem from activities conducted through their El Monte-based company, ALX Solutions Inc., which they founded in 2022, shortly after the U.S. Department of Commerce imposed strict licensing requirements on such exports to China.
According to the Justice Department, the duo knowingly and willfully exported advanced Nvidia chips, including the powerful H100 GPUs, and other technologies from October 2022 to July 2025 without the required licenses.
Investigations revealed that over 20 shipments were routed through shipping and freight-forwarding companies in Singapore and Malaysia common transshipment points to conceal illegal exports to China.
Notably, ALX Solutions received a $1 million payment from a China-based company in January 2024, along with other payments from Hong Kong and China-based firms, rather than the stated recipients, raising red flags about the operation's intent.
A December 2024 shipment was falsely labeled as compliant with federal regulations, despite containing GPUs requiring a license. Law enforcement seized phones from ALX Solutions' office last week, uncovering incriminating communications about evading U.S. export laws by routing chips through Malaysia.Geng, a lawful permanent resident, was released on a $250,000 bond, while Yang, an illegal alien who overstayed her visa, awaits a detention hearing on August 12. Their arraignment is set for September 11.
The case, prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Colin S. Scott, Joseph Guzman, and Jenna Long, with support from the National Security Division, highlights ongoing efforts to protect sensitive technologies amid escalating U.S.-China tech tensions.
This incident underscores the broader trend of illegal chip exports, with reports indicating billions of dollars' worth of Nvidia chips have been smuggled via similar routes.
The FBI and Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security continue to investigate but what I want to see is how did Nvidia allow these Chinese nationalists access to the chips. A FULL INVESTIGATION INTO NVIDIA is required 🙏

🚨 9 U.S. STATES ARE USING CLOUD SEEDING TO MODIFY THE WEATHER RIGHT NOW
This isn’t a conspiracy. It’s official policy and its active.
Right now, Texas, California, Utah, Colorado, Nevada, Idaho, Wyoming, New Mexico, and North Dakota are blasting chemicals into the sky to force rain, create snow, and suppress hail.
It���s called cloud seeding and they’re logging thousands of hours every year.
* Texas covers 30 million acres with weather modification.
* Utah seeds skies every winter without public input.
* California lets utility companies steer storms, while towns flood and burn.
No public vote. No national debate. Just quiet control.
This isn’t about “helping” people.
It’s about controlling weather, water, and who gets both.
So when your town floods… or dries up…
Ask yourself: Was it really just nature?
@ADoricko@RainmakerCorp
For public accountability:
Can you confirm, with full transparency, whether any cloud seeding or atmospheric modification operations, by your company or affiliates, were conducted in or around Hunt, Texas or the Upper Guadalupe River basin on July 3 or July 4, 2025?
If so,
Please include:
Time and location of any seeding activities;
Type of materials used (e.g., silver iodide, dry ice, etc.);
Whether any contracts, public or private, were active in Kerr County or adjacent counties during this period.
Given the deadly consequences of the July 4 flooding and ongoing speculation about the potential role of weather modification, the public is owed full transparency and factual clarity.
Thank you for your prompt and transparent response.
🚨 HOLY SH*T! TEXAS CLOUD SEEDING CEO FUNDED BY PETER THIEL, CONNECTED TO PALANTIR
Meet AUGUSTUS DORICKO, a 25-YEAR-OLD TECH BRO and THIEL FELLOW, who founded the weather modification startup RAINMAKER.
According to publicly available info, Doricko’s company was reportedly cloud seeding over parts of Texas just 2 DAYS before historic flooding hit those same regions.
He received $100,000 through Peter Thiel’s Fellowship, the same Thiel who co-founded PALANTIR, the surveillance and defense tech giant tracking everything from troop movements to civilian behavior.
Let that sink in.
Why is a Palantir-connected billionaire funding private weather experiments in Texas?
Why is a 25-year-old with no public oversight allowed to modify the sky?
They called it “stewarding the natural world.”
Texas got biblical flooding instead.
This isn’t a theory.
It’s documented, privately funded, and totally unregulated.
No vote. No consent. No accountability.
Just Thiel money, weather manipulation, and a flooded state left asking questions.

@grok@elonmusk Either way the percentages are averaged from your sources so it could be higher and lower accordingly, the simple fact of the matter proves my point.
@elonmusk@grok@grok Ivermectin not being sold over the counter is held back by lobbyists of Big Pharma.
Psilocybin is effectively healing people with anxiety, depression, posttraumatic stress syndrome, and addiction.
Medicines are tainted with different colors which cause adverse outcomes.
