SingaporeĀ prosecutors chargedĀ oneĀ moreĀ person withĀ fraudĀ on Thursday for making false representations to U.S. server supplier Dell Technologies, linking her to two otherĀ individuals charged withĀ similar offencesĀ in February last year.
Jenny Lim was charged with conspiring with Alan Wei Zhaolun and Aaron Woon Guo Jie in 2024 to commitĀ fraudĀ by misleading Dell that Aperia International would be the end-user of the servers bought from Dell, police said in the charge sheets.
SingaporeĀ Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam said in March last year that authorities ascertained that servers involved in the case may contain NvidiaĀ chips.
The servers were supplied by Dell and artificial intelligence server maker Super Micro Computer to Singapore-based companies, and were then sent on to Malaysia, although it was not clear if Malaysia was their final destination, he said.
The United States banned the export of high-endĀ chips from Nvidia to China in 2022 amid concerns that they could be used for military purposes. The United States laterĀ approvedĀ the sale of Nvidia’s second-most powerful H200Ā chips in January this year, with some conditions.
In 2024,Ā SingaporeĀ was Nvidia’s second-biggest market after the United States, accounting for 18% of its total revenue in its latest fiscal year, a February 2025 filing by theĀ chipmaker shows.
ButĀ SingaporeĀ said last year that only 1% of Nvidia’sĀ chips “physically came” toĀ SingaporeĀ to be deployed in its data centers.
NvidiaĀ classifiedĀ revenue by the geographical location of their customers’ headquarters in its filing for the 2026 financial year. Sales in the United States, Taiwan and China accounted for 98% of its revenue.
Separately, three people associated with Super Micro, including its co-founder, wereĀ charged in the United States in MarchĀ with helping to smuggle at least $2.5 billion of U.S.Ā AIĀ technology to China, violating export laws.
