Binance CEO: The team is working "day and night" to rescue Tigran Gambaryan, whose health is worrying

Odaily News Binance CEO Richard Teng said his team has been working "around the clock" to bring executive Tigran Gambaryan, who was arrested in Nigeria, back to the United States because of his deteriorating health. "We have called on the Nigerian government many times to release Tigran so that he can go home and get the proper treatment he needs." "There is no need to detain our employees. He has been detained unjustly and unfairly," Teng said at the TOKEN2049 conference in Singapore on September 19. "This is painful for all of us," he said, "especially for his family. For Binance, this is our top priority. We have a task force working around the clock internally to find different ways from legal to political (to help Tigran return home)." Teng hopes that the United States can designate Gambaryan's detention as illegal to speed up the process. He added that Binance has also tried to call on the Nigerian government to release Tigran on humanitarian grounds. He also claimed that Gambaryan has been infected with malaria and pneumonia twice since being detained in Nigeria. His deteriorating health even caused him to suddenly faint during a court appearance in May. (Cointelegraph)
