Tigran Gamberian's Detention in Nigeria

Tigran Gamberian, a former U.S. federal agent, was detained in Nigeria while working as the global head of compliance and investigations for Binance. He was arrested during a meeting with Nigerian officials who accused Binance of contributing to the country's economic decline and demanded taxes and user data. Despite not being top executives, Gamberian and his colleague Nadim Anjawala were treated as collateral and faced increasing pressure from Nigerian authorities. Their detention marked the beginning of a tumultuous saga that highlighted the struggles between government regulation and the rapidly growing cryptocurrency sector.
