FTX’s Nishad Singh: From Millionaire to Felon

by Natalie Christie

Nishad Singh, the lead engineer of FTX, purchased a $3.7 million vacation home in the San Juan islands in October of last year. However, the U.S. government has now seized the property due to Singh’s involvement in multiple charges related to his role at FTX, including wire fraud, money laundering, and campaign finance violations. It is believed that the funds used to purchase the home were directly linked to his crimes. Furthermore, FTX bankruptcy head John Ray has backed the claim that Bankman-Fried and his associates misappropriated funds at the exchange for personal use, and for trading at Alameda Research. In July 2022, a charity linked to FTX appeared to have used funds to purchase a multi-million dollar mansion in the Czech Republic. Singh has also been forced to forfeit an undisclosed amount of stock, and Sam Bankman-Fried saw his $470 million worth of Robinhood shares seized by the DOJ in February. Bankman-Fried has pled not guilty to his 12-count indictment, but his fellow executives – including Singh, FTX co-founder Gary Wang, and Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison – have all confessed to the crime, with the former receiving a smaller sentence in return for an early plea.

In addition to the forfeiture of the vacation home, Singh has also been forced to forfeit an undisclosed amount of stock. Sam Bankman-Fried, the CEO of FTX, had his $470 million worth of Robinhood shares seized by the DOJ in February. Bankman-Fried has pled not guilty to his 12-count indictment, but his fellow executives have all confessed to the crime, with Singh receiving a smaller sentence in return for an early plea.

In July 2022, a charity linked to FTX appeared to have used funds to purchase a multi-million dollar mansion in the Czech Republic. This further supports the claim that Bankman-Fried and his associates misappropriated funds at the exchange for personal use, and for trading at Alameda Research.

The forfeiture of Singh’s vacation home and stock, as well as Bankman-Fried’s Robinhood shares, are clear indications that the U.S. government is taking a hard stance against the misappropriation of funds at FTX. It remains to be seen how this will affect the future of the exchange, and if any further charges will be brought against the executives involved.
