SCOOP: Nigeria appears to have swapped Binance Executive Tigran Gambaryan for US "resources and expertise [...] to fight illicit finance" in a secret deal with the State Department.

Let's be very clear: What the US has deemed acceptable here is that the cost of one innocent man's freedom is its potential loss for tens of thousands of innocent Africans.

Gambaryan, currently parading himself as a victim of the country's human rights abuses, has not responded to a request for comment on whether he endorses the equipping of Nigeria's brutal regime with advanced financial investigation expertise.

The State Department did not respond to our request for comment, but it did delete the announcement of the initiative after our request.

the swap was arranged under Biden admin, right? "Oct 23, 2024"

If you think the guy that lets Palantir and friends run the Government would have done any better I have bad news for you

Bitcoin doesn't care

These people just desperately want to defend the eugenicist Nazi techbros (Theil, Adressen, Sacks, Musk) along with known felon and shitcoin scammer Donald Trump so badly, the mental gymnastics doesn’t work anymore and their brains just break.

So the state department paid the ransom? I don't like that precedent at all.
