Binance executives failed to appear in a Nigerian court due to serious illness, and the trial was postponed to October 25

Binance compliance chief Tigran Gambaryan failed to appear in Nigerian court due to serious illness, delaying the trial for months. Tigran Gambaryan's lawyer, Mark Mordi, requested an adjournment to check his client's health. The judge agreed and postponed the trial until October 25. Binance financial crime compliance chief Tigran Gambaryan has been held in Nigeria since February. A Nigerian court last week rejected a request for bail for Binance executive Tigran Gambaryan due to illness. U.S. lawmakers say he is unjustly detained. His lawyer has repeatedly raised his poor health and said he needed surgery.
