Cooley Team Representing FTXs Former Engineering Director in Fraud-Related Cases

October 19, 2023

In a case that the US attorney for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) called “one of the biggest financial frauds in American history,” Cooley is representing Nishad Singh, former director of engineering at FTX. Our representation has included not only the criminal investigation, but also Securities and Exchange Commission and Commodity Futures Trading Commission cases in SDNY, bankruptcy actions involving FTX, and multiple civil cases brought against our client and others. The cases all involve the multibillion-dollar collapse of FTX, which was one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges.
