Binance CEO Richard Teng expressed strong dissatisfaction with the actions of the Nigerian authorities, condemning their treatment of Binance executives, especially the detention of Tigran Gambaryan.
Gambaryan, who is the head of Binance’s financial crime compliance department, was accused of crimes that Binance claimed were “baseless.” In addition, Teng also stressed that the Nigerian government has set a “dangerous precedent” in the global business environment by detaining executives of global companies in the process of discussing issues.
This series of events has attracted widespread attention in the cryptocurrency community and the international business community as it raises issues concerning the operational freedom of multinational corporations and the rights of individuals.
