Nishad Singh, the former head of engineering at bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX, is requesting leniency from the court during his sentencing hearing. Singh's lawyer has argued that his role in FTX's collapse was limited and that he deserves a reduced sentence due to his cooperation with investigators and his commitment to future good behavior, as reported by various media outlets. Previous reports have highlighted Singh's alleged involvement in codebase modifications that enabled unlimited cryptocurrency withdrawals from Alameda Research in July 2019. However, Singh's legal team maintains that his actions were not intended to deceive or harm anyone. They emphasize his cooperation with authorities and his willingness to live an exemplary life moving forward. The court is expected to consider Singh's request for leniency alongside other factors in determining his appropriate sentence.
