‘WHAT I SHARED WAS FACTUAL’, BINANCE’S GAMBARYAN REAFFIRMS $150M BRIBERY ALLEGATION AGAINST REPS
Read Time:1 Minute, 59 Second
Binance executive, Tigran Gambaryan, has reiterated his claim that three Nigerian lawmakers demanded a $150 million bribe, insisting that his allegations are true.
Gambaryan maintained that his earlier post on Friday accurately described events that transpired in Nigeria.
In his initial statement on X, he named House of Representatives members Philip Agbese, Ginger Onwusibe, and Peter Akpanke as those who allegedly sought the bribe to prevent his arrest and prosecution for money laundering.
The lawmakers and the Federal Government have since dismissed the allegations.
However, despite their denials, Gambaryan doubled down on his claims in another post on X on Saturday, asserting that his statement remains factual.
“What I shared was factual, based on my personal experiences and conversations with those who have direct knowledge of the events I discussed; information that was shared with both Nigerian and US law enforcement.
“So please, allow me to leave this behind and find peace”, he insisted.
Gambaryan said it was the responsibility of law enforcement agents in both Nigeria and the US to see the investigation into the matter through.
He wrote, “I am no longer in law enforcement. The responsibility of seeing this through to a logical conclusion now falls on those still serving in United States and Nigeria.
“Many requested that I stay on and provide further commentary on the issues I posted about yesterday (Friday). Here’s the hard truth: what I shared was meant to fill in the gaps left by Wired and NPR’s reporting.
“The reality is that last year was incredibly painful for me and my family. I dedicated my life to fighting crime as a Special Agent with the United States Department of the Treasury and as a compliance professional. It was an honour to serve my country and it was a blessing that they came to my rescue and mobilised the full force of the US Government when I was in need.
“Being dragged through court on outrageous, baseless, and trumped-up charges didn’t just hurt me, it also brought immense pain to my family.
“I don’t want to see my kids cry because I’m not around. I don’t want to see videos of my 75-year-old mother on television in tears. I don’t want to see my wife crying on TV. I want to put this nightmare behind me and move on.”
