The government prosecutor in the case of Nishad Singh, a former FTX executive, has asked the sentencing judge to consider Singh's "substantial assistance" and "exemplary cooperation" in the government's investigation into FTX. In the documents, prosecutors said Mr. Singh, who helped the government understand how FTX's code allowed the illegal use of client funds, had "shown sincere remorse and a desire to help". He detailed transactions that Sam Bankman-Fried made using the stolen money.
Nishad Singh, the former director of engineering at FTX, asked the judge not to send him to prison for the collapse of FTX. In a memo filed with a federal judge in Manhattan on Wednesday night, Nishad Singh's lawyers said he deserved leniency given his limited role in the FTX bankruptcy, his close cooperation with investigators and his commitment to living an "exemplary life".
Nishad Singh, a former FTX executive who testified against FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried, will be sentenced on October 30, according to court records. Another co-founder, Gary Wang, will be sentenced on November 20.
