Former U.S. Treasury Special Agent and Binance executive Tigran Gambaryan
(EPICSTORIAN) — Tigran Gambaryan, a former U.S. Treasury Special Agent and Binance executive, has broken his silence about his wrongful detention by the Nigerian government in 2024.
In an emotional statement, he detailed the pain his family endured and his desire to leave the ordeal behind.
“I don’t want to see my kids cry because I’m not around. I don’t want to see my wife and mother in tears on TV,” Gambaryan said, reflecting on the emotional toll of his legal battle.
Tigran Gambaryan’s Outrageous Detention By The Nigerian Corrupt System
Gambaryan, known for his expertise in financial crime compliance, was detained in Nigeria under what he calls “outrageous, baseless, and trumped-up charges.”
He insists that the allegations had no merit and were a direct result of political maneuvering. Despite the injustice, he acknowledged that the U.S. government stepped in to support him when he needed it most.
“I dedicated my life to fighting crime, and when I was in need, my country mobilized its full force to help me,” he stated.
The Burden of Truth
His account fills in gaps left by mainstream media, including Wired and NPR, which covered parts of his case but, according to him, missed critical details.
Gambaryan asserts his statements are rooted in fact, drawn from personal experience and direct conversations with those involved.
“The responsibility of seeing this through now falls on those still serving in the U.S. and Nigeria,” he said, making it clear that he has stepped away from law enforcement and wishes to move on.
His story, while he seeks peace, raises pressing concerns about wrongful detentions, international legal disputes, and the broader implications for global financial regulation, and peek into the Nigerian justice system.
