'Is Daddy on the Airplane?' Jailed Binance Exec Gambaryan Family’s Ordeal in New Podcast
Summary
Tigran Gambaryan, a Binance executive, has been detained in Nigeria since February while discussing financial compliance issues. His health has declined due to malaria and a herniated disc. His wife, Yuki Gambaryan, expressed the emotional toll on their children and her fear of losing him. Tigran, a former IRS investigator known for his work in crypto crime, faces money laundering charges amid Binance's legal troubles in Nigeria, including a $10 billion tax-evasion trial. U.S. Rep. Rich McCormick criticized the treatment of Gambaryan, suggesting he is being used as leverage against Binance. Yuki noted previous threats of detention during an earlier visit to Nigeria. Nigerian authorities have not commented on the situation.
