Corporate Entities Facing Fraud Charges in Nvidia Chip Probe

The Aperia Group of companies, comprising Aperia International, A-Speed Infotech, and Aperia Cloud Services, along with Luxuriate Your Life, are now facing fraud charges. These charges are part of an ongoing investigation linked to the alleged movement of Nvidia chips in violation of U.S. export controls. This development marks the first instance of corporate entities being formally prosecuted within the scope of these investigations.
Aperia Group Companies Charged

The Aperia Group entities are facing eight counts of fraud by false representation. These charges stem from alleged conspiracies to defraud suppliers such as Dell, Super Micro, and Asus. The alleged fraudulent activities in server purchases occurred between November 2023 and February 2025. Key individuals previously associated with these companies, including Wei, Lim, and Woon, were officers at the time of these alleged misrepresentations.
Luxuriate Your Life Faces Multiple Fraud Counts

Luxuriate Your Life has been charged with two counts of fraud. These charges relate to alleged misrepresentations made by Li Ming, identified as the controller of the company, in communications with Super Micro. Specifically, Li allegedly misrepresented himself as an employee of Luxuriate Your Life in November 2023. The company also faces additional charges for allegedly operating for a fraudulent purpose and for abetting a director of another company to neglect reasonable diligence.
Background of the Investigation

The broader investigation involves allegations of intermediaries moving Nvidia chips to China to bypass U.S. export controls. This probe led to nine arrests in February 2025 following joint operations by the Singapore Police Force and Singapore Customs. The initial focus was on three men—Aaron Woon Guo Jie, Alan Wei Zhaolun, and Li Ming—who were charged with fraud by false representation concerning server purchases valued at approximately US$250 million.
Assets Seized in Connection with Probe

As part of the widening investigation, authorities have seized a Good Class Bungalow valued at approximately S$55 million (RM173 million) and around S$1 million in bank funds. A prohibition of disposal order has been placed on the property located at 12 Chee Hoon Avenue. These seizures are connected to the ongoing probe, which has also led to additional charges against several individuals involved.
