The potential consequences of the United States government not helping Tigran Gambaryan are “dire,” according to a cohort of former federal prosecutors and agents.
Over 100 former United States federal prosecutors and agents have put their names on a letter pressuring the U.S. Department of State to secure the release of Tigran Gambaryan, the head of financial crimes and compliance at Binance, from custody in Nigeria.
“The U.S. government's efforts to date have been wholly lacking, and the consequences of further inaction are potentially dire,” the June 6 letter addressed to the Secretary of State Antony Blinken declared.
The cohort of former government officials acknowledged Gambaryan’s decade-long service to the nation as a Special Agent with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
