In September 2023, the New York State Attorney arrested a Russian citizen called Maxim Marchenko, and two other co-conspirators, accusing them of buying $1.6 million worth of military-grade OLED microdisplays and smuggling these to Russia. The US export control laws forbid the sale of such components to Russian companies.
Earlier this week, Maxim Marchenko was sentenced to three years in prison followed by three years of supervised release for his role in procuring the dual-use, military grade OLED micro-displays.
