#TigranGambaryan formally resigns from #Binance following return to US😳

The former executive is starting a new chapter, having returned to the US in October 2024 after being detained for eight months in Nigeria.

Tigran Gambaryan, the Binance executive held for months by Nigerian officials before his release in October 2024, announced his formal resignation from the company on June 6.

The former Binance executive said he would remain in the crypto industry and highlighted his work aiding law enforcement investigations worldwide in a June 6 X post. Gambaryan added:

"As digital assets increasingly converge with traditional finance and national security, there is a growing need for trusted, experienced operators, people who understand how to translate between technology, enforcement, and compliance."

“That is where I intend to continue making a difference, whether back in public service or with a mission-driven institution in the private sector,” Gambaryan said.

Gambarayn was detained for eight months before being released and leaving Nigeria in October 2024, following a pressure campaign from Binance executives, human rights groups, the crypto community, and US lawmakers advocating for his release, while accusing the Nigerian government of unlawfully detaining the executive.
