新加坡法院批准了三名涉嫌欺骗服务器供应商的男子的保释,他们被指控虚报服务器最终地点,从而规避美国对特定国家出口Nvidia芯片的禁令,最终目的地可能是中国。案件涉及价值约3.9亿美元的服务器,这些服务器由新加坡公司提供,然后转移到马来西亚。两名新加坡男子的保释金分别为80万新元和60万新元,一名中国籍男子的保释金为100万新元。下次开庭时间为5月2日。检方要求延期八周完成调查,并要求限制他们出境和讨论案情。马来西亚也表示将对涉案的马来西亚公司采取“必要行动”。

🚨 新加坡法院批准了三名涉嫌欺骗服务器供应商的男子的保释,他们被控通过虚报服务器最终地点来规避美国对特定国家出口Nvidia芯片的禁令,这些服务器可能包含受美国出口规则影响的Nvidia芯片。

💰 案件涉及总额约3.9亿美元的服务器交易,这些服务器由新加坡公司提供,然后转移到马来西亚,但最终目的地尚不明确。

✈️ 为了防止嫌疑人逃逸和干扰调查,法院对他们实施了严格的保释条件,包括禁止他们前往机场或边境检查站,禁止讨论案情,并要求中国籍男子佩戴电子监控设备。

🌍 Nvidia的年度报告显示,尽管运往新加坡的货物仅占销售额的不到2%,但新加坡贡献了公司18%的收入,这表明可能存在芯片转运的情况。

🤖 中国的DeepSeek公司因其先进技术和高性价比的解决方案在AI行业引起了全球关注,这也引发了人们对其芯片来源的担忧,尽管美国试图限制出口,但DeepSeek的AI仍然由Nvidia的芯片驱动。

A judge in Singapore granted bail to three men suspected of deceiving suppliers of server computers that may contain Nvidia chips affected by U.S. export rules that bar the sale of them to certain countries, as a route to halting them being sold to organizations in China.

The move comes nearly two weeks after the three men in the city-state were charged with smuggling Nvidia chips and committing fraud against Dell and Super Micro by falsely stating where the servers would be located.  

Singapore prosecutors said the fraud case involved servers provided by Singaporean companies and then moved to Malaysia, with transactions totaling about $390 million, per a report by Reuters. It is unclear what the final destination would be for those servers.

The bail for the two Singaporean men was set at S$800,000 ($600,000) and S$600,000 each, while the third man, a Chinese national, had his bail set at S$1 million. The next court hearing will be held on May 2.

The prosecution requested an eight-week delay to complete investigations and asked for specific conditions, including barring the men from airports or border checkpoints and prohibiting them from discussing the case if they are released on bail, per Bloomberg. The Chinese man reportedly must wear an electronic monitoring device.

According to Nvidia’s latest annual report, Singapore accounted for 18% of revenue in the fiscal year that ended on January 28, despite shipments to the country making up less than 2% of sales.

China’s DeepSeek attracted global attention in the AI industry in January due to its advanced technology and cost-effective solutions, leading to heightened concerns around how and where it sources chips. DeepSeek’s AI is powered by Nvidia’s chips, despite efforts to restrict exports and prevent the technology from being used in China.

Malaysia said last week that it would take “necessary action” against Malaysian companies implicated in a fraud case related to the alleged transfer of Nvidia chips from Singapore to China.
