Nigeria’s government is blaming Binance for its own mismanagement
Nigeria's currency is collapsing because of financial mismanagement. Now, two Binance employees have been entangled in the government's search for scapegoats.
Very spicy :D
Authorities then accused Binance of moving $26 billion out of the country illegally, and invited Binance to send employees to discuss the issue. Binance thus sent two staffers — Tigran Gambaryan and Nadeem Anjarwalla. Nigerian authorities responded by placing them under house arrest. Anjarwalla has escaped, but Gambaryan — an American citizen and former IRS agent — is still in the country. Both men now face charges that include tax evasion, money laundering and providing financial services without a license.
Oh boy
