Tigran Gambaryan was the go-to man during the Binance vs US spat. Tigran Gambaryan was the former US Agent who was in charge of Binance’s financial crime and compliance. However, Tigran just released a statement suggesting his departure after four long and tumultuous years.
Tigran Gambaryan was initially an IRS investigator who joined hands with Binance back in 2021. He joined at a time when the company was in dire scrutiny for its lax compliance and anti-money laundering regulations.
Tigran Gambaryan joined the company and went on to build a 100-person team of former prosecutors and federal agents. However, things went downhill when Nigerian authorities arrested Tigran. Following his arrest, Tigran spent 8 months in a Nigerian prison, before US political pressure on Nigeria released him on humanitarian grounds.
However, now Tigran has opened up about his desire to leave and serve in other sectors of the landscape. Tigran took to social media to express his views, saying, “There’s a growing need for trusted, experienced operators, people who understand how to translate between technology, enforcement, and compliance.”
This could be a major shift in the sands for Binance, as things can certainly change rapidly for the platform in light of new developments.
