Singapore police have seized a S$55 million luxury home, alleging part of the purchase was funded by proceeds from smuggling NVIDIA AI chips. The case involves Aperia Group and other local tech companies accused of using false end-use claims to obtain server orders and skirt U.S. export controls on advanced AI chips. The U.S. Department of Justice has previously identified Singapore as a key transit hub. Authorities said the action is Singapore’s first such enforcement move in 2025 targeting corporate entities, underscoring tighter scrutiny.
