SINGAPORE — The Singapore Police Force issued a prohibition of disposal order on June 4, 2025, against a residence valued at approximately S$55 million ($42.4 million) and seized approximately S$1 million in funds in connection with fraud investigations. On the same date, Jenny Lim and Aaron Woon, key officers of the Aperia Group, each received seven new charges, including fraud and money laundering. Alan Wei, another key officer of the group, faces three counts of money laundering related to the seized mansion and an additional S$5.8 million deposited into his personal account. Wei, Woon, and Lim were identified as key officers of Aperia International, A-Speed Infotech, and Aperia Cloud Services.
The fraud charges allege a conspiracy among Aaron Woon, Alan Wei, and Jenny Lim concerning the purchase of servers from Dell, Super Micro Computer, and Asus. The charges assert that between November 2023 and February 2025, the defendants falsely represented that an Aperia Group company would be the end-user of these servers. Woon and Lim were charged with money laundering after each acquired approximately S$1.2 million in their personal bank accounts.
Malaysian authorities seized 72 servers worth nearly $13 million on May 28, 2025, in an attempt to smuggle advanced AI chips through the country's main airport. Servers potentially containing advanced Nvidia AI chips were shipped from Singapore to Malaysia.
Li Ming, identified as the controller of Luxuriate Your Life, was charged with additional fraud charges related to misrepresenting the end-user of servers intended for purchase from Super Micro. Ming was initially charged in February 2025 with committing fraud by false representation, the same month Aaron Woon and Alan Wei were charged with criminal conspiracy to commit fraud. Jenny Lim was charged in April 2025 in connection with the case.
The Singapore Police Force stated that it holds a zero-tolerance stance towards offenses violating laws that safeguard Singapore's integrity as a global financial and business hub. These actions represent an expansion of charges against individuals associated with the Aperia Group and Luxuriate Your Life, building on earlier charges filed in February and April 2025. The scope of assets involved includes a S$55 million residence and approximately S$1 million in seized funds, alongside additional personal bank account deposits of S$1.2 million for two individuals and S$5.8 million for another. The alleged fraud involved misrepresentation in the purchase of servers, some of which were potentially advanced AI chips, and were reportedly shipped from Singapore to Malaysia.
