Binance Exec Tigran Gambaryan Leaves Firm, Months After Nigerian Hostage Crisis
Tigran Gambaryan, the head of financial crime compliance at Binance, has left the company after four years, seeking new opportunities in the public or private sector. His departure follows significant challenges, including being detained in Nigeria for eight months in 2024 amid allegations related to his role at Binance. Since his release, he has represented the company at multiple conferences, sharing insights on compliance and enforcement. Gambaryan joined Binance in 2021 to build a team focused on aligning the exchange with international law enforcement standards. Under his leadership, the platform responded to over 57,000 law enforcement requests. His exit adds to a series of high-profile departures from Binance, which have surged over the past two years, correlating with regulatory scrutiny and legal challenges faced by the company. Gambaryan's immediate aim is to contribute his expertise in technology compliance to new endeavors.
