Sam Bankman-Fried’s Trial Takes a Dramatic Turn
LIVE Former FTX Executive Nishad Singh Testifies in Case Against Sam Bankman-FriedFormer FTX Executive Nishad Singh testifies against Sam Bankman-Fried
The courtroom was abuzz as the third week of Sam Bankman-Fried’s criminal trial began with a bombshell testimony from a former senior FTX executive. Nishad Singh, who had already pleaded guilty, revealed that he knew around $8 billion of FTX customers’ money had gone missing. Talk about a disappearing act!
Singh, a longtime friend of Bankman-Fried since high school, started off with admiration and respect for his wunderkind buddy. However, as time went on, Singh’s admiration eroded faster than a sandcastle in a tsunami.
Picture this: Singh, like a Sherlock Holmes of the crypto world, uncovered a massive financial hole in FTX’s accounts. It was so massive that even Alice would have been terrified to fall into it. Around $8 billion had vanished into thin air, leaving Singh stunned.
But here’s the plot twist: even though Singh knew that these transactions were essentially coming from user deposits, he still gave them the green light. You could say he was like a traffic cop waving through a parade of illegitimate transactions. Talk about turning a blind eye!

Turns out, Bankman-Fried had been using the missing funds for his affiliated trading firm, Alameda Research, to finance all sorts of extravagant ventures. We’re talking political donations, real estate splurges, and everything in between. It’s like playing Monopoly with other people’s money but on a cosmic scale.
Singh wasn’t the only one singing like a canary. Tareq Morad, a former FTX customer, also took the stand and shared his heartbreaking story. He had wired over a quarter of a million dollars to North Dimension, hoping to fund his FTX account. Instead, he watched his hard-earned money vanish into the digital abyss. Ouch!
But let’s come back to Singh, Bankman-Fried’s high school buddy. At first, Singh was intimidated by the brilliant mind behind FTX, with his boyish looks and nerdy spectacles. But as the truth unfolded, Singh’s initial admiration turned into shame faster than a jet-propelled rollercoaster.
Singh couldn’t believe what he witnessed: Bankman-Fried’s unilateral and excessive dipping into customers’ funds. It was like watching someone raid the cookie jar with no remorse. Eventually, Singh couldn’t hold his tongue any longer and spoke up about the lavish spending and poor investments.
But instead of being commended for his ethics, Singh was scolded like a mischievous schoolboy. Bankman-Fried accused him of sowing doubt within the company, while Singh felt fleeced for a whopping $20 million!
As the trial continues, the revelations keep pouring in, captivating the audience like an enthralling Netflix series. Stay tuned for more jaw-dropping twists and turns in the trial of the century.
