Chinese national Li Ming, 51, was offered bail of $1 million, while Singaporean Alan Wei Zhaolun, 48, was offered bail of $800,000.

Aaron Woon Guo Jie, 40, also a Singaporean, was offered bail of $600,000.

Li faces two charges — one of fraud and one under the Computer Misuse Act.

Woon and Wei each face two fraud charges.

Li is accused of committing fraud on Supermicro, a supplier of servers, by claiming in 2023 that the end user of the servers would be a company he controlled, called Luxuriate Your Life.

He also allegedly accessed an OCBC corporate bank account without authorisation to make and receive transfers for Luxuriate Your Life, on June 19, 2024.

Woon and Wei are accused of being in a criminal conspiracy to defraud two suppliers of servers, Dell and Supermicro.

They allegedly made false representations in 2024 that the servers would not be transferred to a person other than the authorised end users.

The pair worked at Aperia Cloud Services, a Singapore-based technology company. Wei was the company's chief executive and Woon its chief operating officer.
