[Nishad Singh requests a sentence reduction, claiming his role in FTX crime was "limited"] According to Mars Finance, in 2023, after admitting fraud charges, FTX's former engineering director Nishad Singh asked the judge to sentence him to "prison term and a period of supervised release" to make up for his role in the collapse of the exchange.

In a document filed with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on October 16, Singh's lawyers claimed that the role of the former engineering director was "much more limited" than any other individual mentioned in the FTX indictment, including Sam Bankman-Fried, Caroline Ellison, Ryan Salame and Gary Wang.
