ArmInfo.The Web3 Armenia Foundation calls on the Nigerian authorities to release the Binance top manager, US citizen of Armenian origin, Tigran Ghambaryan, who is being held hostage.
According to a statement from the Foundation received by ArmInfo, Ghambaryan and another manager have been unjustly detained in Nigeria since February 25 of this year.
Ghambaryan is a former cryptocurrency investigator who led a team investigating money laundering, drug trafficking on the dark web, and crypto-crimes, including cryptocurrency-funded child exploitation.
He later joined Binance's investigative team as the head of the financial crimes department. He has played an important role in the fight against crypto crime in the world, including shutting down some of the largest crypto crime platforms such as Silk Road, AlphaBay, etc.," said the Web3 Armenia Foundation in a statement, which also calls for joining the petition demanding the release of Ghambaryan (https://www.change.org/p/help-bring-former-us-federal-agent-tigran-gambaryan-home-fromunjust-detention- in-nigeria).
