A former top executive at FTX, Nishad Singh, met with prosecutors in New York US Attorney’s Office, Southern District. Singh provided evidence against the ex-CEO of FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried.
The former director of engineering of the collapsing exchange was encouraged to speak freely with authorities as he was offered limited immunity. According to multiple sources, Singh hasn’t been accused of involving in any wrongdoing.
However, authorities believe Singh may hold valuable information on how Sam Bankman-Fried violated countless federal laws. If the deal is made, Singh will become the third ally, alongside Gary Wang and Caroline Ellison, to agree to cooperate with the ongoing investigation into FTX and Sam Bankman-Fried.
