On October 30, COINOTAG reported a significant diplomatic interaction between U.S. President Joe Biden and Nigerian President Bola Tinubu. During a phone call, Biden expressed gratitude towards Tinubu for the recent release of Binance executive Tigran Gambaryan. This move underscores the strengthening ties between the U.S. and Nigeria in addressing crypto-related crimes. Additionally, Biden commended the establishment of the Anti-Money Laundering and Cryptocurrency Bilateral Liaison Group, initiated by Nigeria on October 23, which aims to enhance cooperation in the fight against financial malfeasance in the crypto sector. Gambaryan, a former agent of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, faced serious health issues during his detention in Nigeria, including pneumonia and malaria, as reported by his family. The dismissal of charges against him on October 23 marks a pivotal development in this ongoing narrative.
