Super Micro Computer Inc. shares declined 11.30 percent on Thursday to close at $26.99 per share, Yahoo Finance reported, following news that the Department of Justice initiated a probe into alleged product smuggling into China.

The US Attorney’s Office in Manhattan is investigating whether Alice Huang helped smuggle Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI) products into China, according to reports cited by Yahoo Finance. Authorities also tagged Huang as an alleged Chinese spy and former mistress of ex-Nvidia Corp. CEO Jensen Huang. Other companies, specifically Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Megaspeed International, face the same probe.

In response to the inquiry, Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI) stated that it is cooperating with authorities in relation to the case.
