US Treasury fines Amidi $200,000 over unreported $92,478 bet on Chinese robotics AI

  • —The $200,000 penalty is more than twice the size of the $92,478 investment
  • —The investment in Noematrix was made on April 19, 2025 through Amidi's Chinese fund
  • —The Outbound Investment Security Program has been in force since January 2, 2025
  • —The violation was procedural: no notification was filed, the deal was not prohibited
Why it matters: The first penalty under the program signals that even small deals with Chinese AI companies require Treasury notification.
