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

Odaily Odaily Binance CEO Richard Teng said that his team has been working "day and night" to bring Tigran Gambaryan, an executive arrested in Nigeria, back to the United States because of his deteriorating health. "We have repeatedly called on the Nigerian government 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 working group 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 as illegally detained 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 said that since being detained in Nigeria, Gambaryan has been infected with malaria and pneumonia twice. His declining health even caused him to collapse during a court appearance in May.
