Tensions between Binance, the leading cryptocurrency exchange, and Nigerian authorities show no sign of cooling down. The exchange recently issued a new statement requesting regulatory respect for Tigran Gambaryan, Binance’s Anti-Money Laundering Director.
Binance argues that its Anti-Money Laundering Director shouldn’t be held accountable in the ongoing negotiation with the Nigerian government.
According to Binance, Gambaryan lacks decision-making authority within the company, and for this reason, he shouldn’t be held accountable during ongoing discussions with Nigerian officials.
“Binance respectfully requests that Tigran Gambaryan, who has no decision-making power in the company, is not held responsible while current discussions are ongoing between Binance and Nigerian government officials,” wrote Binance.
