Nishad Singh

Nishad Singh, the former director of engineering for collapsed crypto exchange FTX, is planning to plead guilty to fraud charges for his role in the alleged scheme, according to Bloomberg. Singh, 27, is a graduate of the University of California at Berkeley, where he met his longtime girlfriend, Claire Watanabe, who would later join FTX as its head of marketing and HR. The pair resided in the luxurious Bahamas penthouse with Bankman-Fried, Ellison, Wang and Singh and Watanabe's goldendoodle dog. Like Sam Bankman-Fried, Caroline Ellison and Gary Wang, Singh was an ardent supporter of effective altruism, and the quartet comprised the board of the FTX Foundation.
