President Biden Thanks Nigerian President for Binance Exec’s Release: White House

Gambaryan, head of financial crime compliance at Binance, was released on humanitarian grounds last week, eight months after he was first taken into Nigerian custody and subsequently charged with money laundering and tax evasion as a proxy for his employer, which the Nigerian government accused of tanking the value of the naira. The Nigerian government has since dropped both charges against Gambaryan, though Binance still faces tax-evasion charges in the country.
