Singapore Seizes S$55 Million GCB and Freezes Bank Funds in Nvidia Chip Probe

Seizing the S$55 million bungalow aims to preserve alleged proceeds to support expanded fraud and money‑laundering charges tied to suspected export‑control evasion.

Overview

  • The police placed a prohibition‑of‑disposal order on a Good Class Bungalow at 12 Chee Hoon Avenue and froze about S$1 million in bank accounts in actions announced Wednesday, July 1.
  • Authorities lodged new charges this week that add money‑laundering counts and multiple fraud offences against individuals including Alan Wei Zhaolun, Aaron Woon Guo Jie and Jenny Lim.
  • Two corporate groups—Aperia Group companies (Aperia International, A‑Speed Infotech and Aperia Cloud Services) and Luxuriate Your Life—face the first corporate fraud prosecutions in the investigation.
  • Prosecutors allege Wei converted roughly S$55 million tied to the bungalow purchase while Lim and Woon each acquired about S$1.2 million in personal accounts, with earlier arrests tracing to February 2025 raids over alleged diversion of servers containing Nvidia chips.
  • If convicted, the accused face heavy penalties under Singapore law and the case advances to court in early July, a step that highlights greater use of asset seizure and interagency enforcement in export‑control investigations.
