FTX’s chief engineer, Nishad Singh, was hit with lawsuits from both the SEC and the CFTC shortly after pleading guilty to six criminal charges yesterday.
Aiding and Abetting Fraud
Another one of Sam Bankman-Fried’s lieutenants is facing civil lawsuits.
Yesterday both the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission filed complaints against former FTX head of engineering Nishad Singh.
The CFTC accused Singh of fraud and of aiding and abetting the fraud committed by FTX, Alameda Research, and Sam Bankman-Fried. Among other things, the regulatory body is seeking civil monetary penalties, restitution of funds, and to ban Singh from ever being involved in the transaction of commodity interests or “digital asset commodities” again.
“Today’s filing reflects the CFTC’s commitment to protecting the U.S. digital commodity markets,” stated CFTC chief counsel Gretchen Lowe. “Today’s filing also includes a concession of liability by an individual who, as charged, engaged in and aided significant violations of the Commodity Exchange Act and CFTC regulations.”
The SEC for its part accused Singh of violating the Securities Act and the Exchange Act by enabling Bankman-Fried to move FTX funds in an unlawful manner. The agency is also seeking civil monetary penalties and to forbid Singh from trading securities—including “crypto asset securities”.
“We allege that this was fraud, pure and simple,” stated SEC director of enforcement Gurbir Grewal. “While on the one hand FTX touted its supposed effective risk mitigation measures to investors, on the other Mr. Singh and his co-defendants were stealing customer funds using software code Mr. Singh helped create.”
Singh pleaded guilty yesterday to one count of wire fraud, three counts of conspiracy to commit fraud, one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering, and one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States by violating campaign finance laws.

FTX's Nishad Singh reportedly approaches plea deal
FTX's Nishad Singh reportedly approaches plea deal

A former top employee of FTX is preparing to reach a plea deal with U.S. prosecutors, Bloomberg News reported Feb. 17.
The publication reported that Nishad Singh, who served as FTX’s director of engineering, plans to plead guilty as Manhattan prosecutors prepare to file charges.
Based on previous developments, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York is responsible for the investigation. The CFTC and SEC reportedly plan to file charges as well.
Similar reports from Bloomberg on Jan. 10 suggested that Singh had discussed a cooperation deal that was likely to lead to a plea deal. Singh was supposedly not accused of wrongdoing at the time, whereas he is now said to face charges.
None of the above agencies have publicly confirmed Bloomberg’s statements. However, reports from the same source suggest that authorities have been investigating Singh since at least Jan. 5. Singh played a key role in developing software that was used to transfer funds between FTX and Alameda. He also was involved in campaign financing.
Information about those and other activities could provide assistance in the criminal case against Sam Bankman-Fried, the co-founder and former CEO of FTX.
If Singh reaches a plea deal, he will be the third FTX associate to do so after former Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison and FTX co-founder Gary Wang. Both individuals pled guilty in December and are cooperating against Bankman-Fried, who awaits trial.

FTX engineering director Nishad Singh is being probed by U.S. authorities
FTX engineering director Nishad Singh is being probed by U.S. authorities
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();
Federal authorities in the U.S. are probing former FTX engineering director Nishad Singh, according to a Jan. 5 report from Bloomberg.
That report suggests that if Manhattan prosecutors discover that Singh was involved in FTX’s mismanagement of funds, he could be charged before the end of January. Bloomberg was unable to determine whether Singh is cooperating with authorities.
The Manhattan prosecutors mentioned by Bloomberg are implied to be members of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, which has handled most aspects of the FTX case until now. Two regulators — the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) — are also probing Singh as well, according to today’s report.
None of the organizations above have confirmed that they are probing Singh. Instead, Bloomberg said it has spoken to sources “familiar with the matter.”
Though no action has been taken against Singh, he has frequently been mentioned in relation to FTX’s collapse. In November, reports suggested that Singh and others knew that FTX was transferring funds to its sister company, Alameda Research. In December, FTX Digital Markets ceo-CEO Ryan Salame named Singh as one of three individuals with sufficient credentials to make those transfers.
Singh has been mentioned in various other reports as well. In November, he was identified as the recipient of a $543 million loan from Alameda. He was also named alongside Salame and former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried as having made controversial political donations over the last election cycle. Additionally, inquiries into FTX’s Bahamas condominiums named Singh as a one-time resident and owner.
Reports suggest that Singh has been missing since FTX’s November bankruptcy filing, possibly motivating the probe that is rumored to be taking place now.
Singh is at least the third of Bankman-Fried’s associates to come under federal examination. In December, former Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison and FTX co-founder Gary Wang both reached a plea deal with authorities.
Bankman-Fried himself faces various charges due to his leadership role. His last hearing was on Jan. 3, and his trial will commence in October 2023.
