Former IRS agent and Binance executive detained in Nigeria for nearly a year announces departure from Binance

According to Foresight News, as reported by CoinDesk, Tigran Gambaryan, a former IRS agent who led Binance's financial crime compliance affairs, has announced his official resignation. He joined Binance in 2021 and has formed and managed a 100 person global investigation team consisting of former prosecutors and federal agents, handling thousands of requests from law enforcement agencies. In 2024, Gambaryan was detained by the local government for compliance issues with Binance in Nigeria, and was eventually released this year under pressure from the US without being convicted. In his resignation statement, he stated that he will continue to devote himself to building a bridge between technology, law enforcement, and compliance.
