FTX Former Lead Engineer in Talks With Federal Prosecutors in Bankman-Fried Case

As the investigation into FTX continues, the crypto exchange’s former engineering chief Nishad Singh followed former FTX and Alameda Research executives Gary Wang and Caroline Ellison by reportedly meeting with federal prosecutors to cut a deal.

Singh attended a proffer session sometime last week at the United States Attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York for prosecutors to determine if he has valuable information to offer in the lawsuit against FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, according to a Jan. 10 Bloomberg report.

Prosecutors are interested in Singh’s insight regarding FTX’s political donations as one of the charges Bankman-Fried faces is campaign finance law violations.

Singh made significant political donations himself over the years and could help prosecutors gain a better understanding of FTX’s political donations.
