French Hill, the vice chairperson of the House Financial Services Committee, is spearheading a push to repatriate Tigran Gambaryan, a Binance executive detained in Nigeria. Tigran Gambaryan, a US citizen and former IRS agent who works as a compliance officer for Binance, flew to Nigeria in February to meet with government officials on behalf of Binance, but has been held in a Nigerian prison for nearly four months on "trumped-up" charges including money laundering and tax evasion. French Hill said he planned to call Roger Carstens, the US State Department's presidential envoy for hostage affairs, in the coming days to seek advice on the Gambaryan case. "Tigran Gambaryan is a pawn in the political struggle in Nigeria. He needs to be brought back to the US where he belongs before Binance can continue to communicate with Nigeria," said French Hill.
