Binance Executive Accuses Nigerian Lawmakers of $150M Bribe Demand, Reps Deny Allegations
Tigran Gambaryan, Head of Financial Crime Compliance at cryptocurrency firm Binance, has accused three Nigerian lawmakers of demanding a $150 million bribe while he was in detention. Gambaryan, who spent eight months in custody over alleged money laundering charges, claimed that members of the House of Representatives—Philip Agbese, Ginger Onwusibe, and Peter Akpanke—sought the payment in cryptocurrency. Taking to his verified X handle, he alleged that the meeting was staged with fake cameras, adding that the lawmakers insisted Binance comply with their demands. However, Agbese, who also serves as Deputy Spokesman of the House, dismissed the claims as false, challenging Gambaryan to provide evidence or risk legal action. “I have never used cryptocurrency, nor do I own a crypto wallet. Gambaryan should retract his claims within seven days or face legal consequences,” Agbese stated. Onwusibe, Chair of the House Committee on Anti-Corruption, declined to comment, citing ongoing legal proceedings, while efforts to reach Akpanke were unsuccessful.
You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually something that I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and extremely broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!
