Singapore has charged a fifth person in an alleged AI server fraud case linked to shipments to Malaysia that may have contained Nvidia chips. Shi Bingzhe faces 41 charges.

One charge alleges Shi acquired benefits from criminal conduct.

Singapore police previously said the case involved alleged false statements about the end users of servers bought from Dell, Super Micro Computer, and Asustek.

Earlier, authorities charged four companies in connection with the case.

Prosecutors said in March 2025 that the alleged transactions totaled about US$390 million.

Singapore said the servers were then shipped to Malaysia.

Authorities in Singapore and Malaysia launched investigations into the shipments, though it remains unclear whether the servers contained Nvidia chips.

If the servers contained Nvidia chips subject to US export controls, shipping or re-exporting them through Singapore could create compliance risks.
