Cross-Examination of Nishad Singh
During the cross-examination of Nishad Singh, it was revealed that Singh had participated in assessing Anthropic before FTX made the investment. Additionally, Singh expressed his desire to make a separate investment or donation to Anthropic. It was also disclosed that Singh had received up to $2 million in bonuses from FTX and had borrowed $477 million. The purpose of this loan was supposedly to make donations to a charity, but no such donations were ever made. Furthermore, it was clarified that Singh never received cash for the loan; it only existed on paper.
Singh had also received a separate $10 million loan from the exchange for his parents, some of which was donated. Another significant revelation was the existence of $8 billion that remained unaccounted for in the balance sheet. During a meeting about closing down Alameda, Sam Bankman-Fried was absent while Caroline Ellison, Singh, and Wang discussed the matter. Ellison stated that it wasn’t possible to close down Alameda.
