Key Points:
Binance Compliance Chief Gambaryan, an American citizen, previously served as a federal agent for a decade, specializing in national security and terrorism financing investigations. However, Binance clarified that Gambaryan is not part of its management team and solely operates as a law enforcement professional.
The company emphasized Gambaryan’s role in assisting with compliance issues since joining in 2021, highlighting his efforts in enhancing the Financial Crime Compliance team’s capabilities. Despite being detained alongside colleague Nadeem Anjarwalla, who has reportedly fled the country, Binance stressed Gambaryan’s lack of decision-making authority within the company.
Furthermore, Binance has been engaged in discussions with Nigerian officials, urging that Gambaryan not be held responsible due to his limited role in the organization. Meanwhile, inquiries regarding Anjarwalla’s whereabouts remain unanswered by Binance.
The situation escalated when Gambaryan and Anjarwalla were charged with money laundering offenses amounting to $35.4 million at the Federal High Court in Abuja. While the Binance Compliance Chief remains in custody, efforts are underway by Nigerian authorities, including cooperation with Interpol, the FBI, and other governments, to locate and extradite Anjarwalla back to Nigeria to face charges.
