A third former FTX executive is preparing to plead guilty to criminal charges, Bloomberg pranešė.
Nishad Singh, the former director of engineering at FTX, is hammering out a deal with prosecutors to plead guilty to criminal charges in connection with his role at the now-bankrupt crypto exchange. The deal is not finalized, according to Bloomberg.
Singh would be the third member of Sam Bankman-Fried’s inner circle to plead guilty and cooperate with prosecutors, following FTX Co-Founder Gary Wang and former Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison.
Bankman-Fried has pleaded not guilty to a litany of criminal charges, including fraud, and is awaiting an October trial. The former CEO, who is accused of mishandling customer funds at the company, could be sentenced to more than 100 years in jail if he is convicted on all counts.
FTX was once valued at $32 billion and filed for bankruptcy protection in November. The firm has an estimated 9 million customers and could owe as much as $3.1 billion to its top 50 creditors.
Atsisakymas: Nuo 2021 m. buvęs „The Block“ generalinis direktorius ir daugumos savininkas Michaelas McCaffrey'us paėmė keletą paskolų iš įkūrėjo ir buvusio FTX bei „Alameda“ generalinio direktoriaus Samo Bankmano-Friedo. McCaffrey atsistatydino iš bendrovės 2022 m. gruodį, nes neatskleidė šių sandorių.
