Key Points:
Singh pleaded guilty 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 campaign finance violations. The plea was accepted by U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan.
It is reported that Singh modified FTX’s software in 2020 so that if Alameda loses too much of the borrowed funds, it will not automatically sell assets. This waiver allows Alameda to borrow continually from FTX.
In addition, Singh has donated $8 million to the US Democratic Party’s campaign for the 2022 election cycle.
In a blog post that has since been deleted, Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) claimed that Singh was a close friend of her younger brother in high school. According to CNBC, Singh, who previously worked at Alameda, was appointed director of engineering at the exchange in 2019.
According to Reuters’ December article, Singh modified the FTX program in 2020 to exclude Alameda from having its assets automatically auctioned if it were losing too much-borrowed money.
According to previous news, SBF was charged with eight counts of fraud and conspiracy, but he pleaded not guilty. Former Alameda CEO Caroline Ellison and former FTX CTO Gary Wang pleaded guilty to seven and four criminal charges, respectively.
In a recent hearing, a court in the United States rejected a request to appoint an impartial examiner in the FTX bankruptcy case.
Four senators from the Democratic and Republican parties in the US submitted a letter to the judge in January asking for the appointment of an unbiased examiner.
Subsequently, Juliet Sarkessian, a spokesperson for the United States Trustee, a section of the Department of Justice, argued that Judge John Dorsey of the Bankruptcy Court of Delaware shouldn’t have made the judgment in a case of this scale.
