Nishad Singh, the former engineering chief of the collapsed exchange FTX, met with the federal prosecutors in the US in the hope of getting a cooperation deal. He would be the third member of the FTX and SBF’s inner circle who would be ready to cooperate to get possible leniency.

Singh has so far not been accused of any wrongdoings but he did meet the prosecutors in a proffer-session, in the Southern District of New York US Attorney’s Office, as per a report by Bloomberg. However, the meeting does not guarantee a cooperation deal. The prosecutors will see the value of the information that he provides and then will decide if it can be used to plead him guilty and grant leniency.

Former FTX executives, FTX co-founder Gary Wang and Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison, have already pleaded guilty and are cooperating with the authorities. On the contrary, Sam Bankman-Fried pleaded not guilty to the 8 charges of crimes.

Mind The Gap, a political action committee, founded by SBF’s mother, Barbara Fried, received a 1 million USD donation in the year 2022.

SEC is already probing Singh as he also received millions of dollars from Alameda Research as a loan.
