Authorities in Singapore detained three people on charges of deliberately misrepresenting the final destination of U.S.-manufactured servers.
Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz made the pledge as he gave updates on investigations into an alleged fraud case involving servers exported from Singapore that may have contained Nvidia chips.
Law and Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam says Singapore’s investigations were carried out independently and not requested by the US, which had placed export controls on advanced AI chips.
Nvidia’s chips are primarily manufactured by TSMC in Taiwan; however, some systems and computers utilizing these chips are produced in other regions, including Mexico.
By Bing Hong Lok SINGAPORE (Reuters) -Servers used in a fraud case that Singapore announced last week were supplied by U.S. firms and may have contained Nvidia's advanced chips, a government minister said on Monday.
