Binance Exec Tigran Gambaryan Called for Rescue by US

State Attorneys General have urged President Biden to classify the detention of Binance executive Tigran Gambaryan by the Nigerian government as a hostage situation under the Robert Levinson Hostage Recovery and Hostage-Taking Accountability Act. In an October 18 joint letter, they expressed concerns about his deteriorating health and the legal basis for his imprisonment. Gambaryan, a former U.S. IRS agent, is described as a hero for his work in law enforcement and his efforts to ensure Binance’s compliance with U.S. regulations. His detention, seen as leverage against Binance, has raised legal and health concerns, especially after Gambaryan missed a court appearance and his wife reported his worsening condition. His case has gained attention since U.S. Representative Rich McCormick called for it to be classified as a hostage situation in July. The attorneys general are pressing for Biden’s involvement and prioritization of the case. Show Less
