Crypto Giant in Hot Water: Binance Executive Faces Trial in Nigeria
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, finds itself embroiled in a dramatic legal battle with Nigerian authorities. Tigran Gambaryan, a high-ranking executive at Binance and head of their financial crime compliance, appeared in a federal high court in Abuja on Thursday, April 4th, to face serious allegations.

Gambaryan, along with another Binance executive, Nadeem Anjarwalla, are accused of four counts of tax evasion and laundering over $35 million. This case raises eyebrows as it targets a major player in the booming cryptocurrency market.

Both Gambaryan and Anjarwalla were detained in Nigeria in February 2024 during a criminal investigation into Binance’s activities. However, the story took a surprising turn when Anjarwalla managed to escape custody and flee the country.

Gambaryan, though present in court, has not yet entered a plea. This legal standoff hinges on whether he can be held responsible for Binance’s alleged wrongdoings. His lawyer argues that Gambaryan wasn’t a high-enough member of the company hierarchy and lacked the authority to represent Binance in court.

Further complicating the matter, Binance itself hasn’t been formally charged and wasn’t represented in court. The company maintains that Gambaryan, with limited decision-making power, shouldn’t be held accountable while talks with Nigerian authorities are ongoing. Gambaryan has also requested his release from custody.

The Nigerian government blames Binance for contributing to their currency woes. Crypto websites have become popular platforms for trading the Nigerian Naira, a situation exacerbated by the country’s chronic dollar shortage.

This case in Nigeria has ignited a firestorm of debate. Is Binance truly responsible for the alleged financial crimes? Can Gambaryan, as an individual executive, be held accountable for the actions of a vast corporation? The outcome of this trial will be closely watched by the cryptocurrency industry worldwide, with potential consequences for regulations and future operations.
