Singapore charges a fifth person in the Nvidia server fraud case

Singapore has a fraud case about servers that might have held Nvidia chips. The servers went to Malaysia, and the investigations began in February 2025.

On Friday, Singapore charged a fifth person with 41 charges in a fraud case. The case is about servers that might have held Nvidia chips. The servers went to Malaysia. Prosecutors said the transactions in the broader case total about $390 million. On Thursday, Singapore barred Alice Huang from re-entry. The investigations began in February 2025. They continue.

What is new

Singapore asks if servers sent through the country to Malaysia went to a different area. The Ministry of Home Affairs says this is against the declarations made in Singapore. The investigations include the company Megaspeed International and some officials. They continue.

The numbers

Nvidia revenue linked to Singapore was 22% in the quarter that ended July 2025. It was 8% in 2023. The trade ministry of Singapore says chips that got there were below 1% of the revenue.

What is not known

The source does not say if the servers held Nvidia chips. It does not say where they went after Malaysia. The US says chips have reached China through Singapore.

Insight: Billing in Singapore is far larger than delivery there

Singapore bills 22% of Nvidia revenue, but its trade ministry says below 1% of the chips get there. Reports say that companies linked to Alice Huang enabled $7 billion or more of chips sales to China. This difference reads as the area where diversion can occur, and the US looks at Singapore. More charges and checks on where servers go are possible.
