Richard Teng Demands Tigran Gambaryan Be Released Immediately
Binance CEO Richard Teng is demanding the immediate release of executive Tigran Gambaryan due to inhumane treatment and worsening health in Nigerian detention. Gambaryan, whose condition has deteriorated since contracting malaria in May, is reportedly being denied proper medical care.
Richard was hired by Binance in 2021 to improve its worldwide compliance operations. He was anointed the new CEO after succeeding Changpeng Zhao (CZ).
Hard To Watch
A recent video shows Gambaryan in a weakened state, struggling with crutches and being ignored by guards, which Teng condemned as inhumane. The video reveals Gambaryan being in visible pain and frustration, as he claims he is being denied help despite his serious condition.
The Binance community has rallied in support, condemning the treatment and questioning the motives behind why Gambaryan is being detained, with some suggesting it might be a strategic tactic against Binance.
Bad To Worse
To make matters worse, Gambaryan has seen his health worsen significantly since his collapse in court on May 23rd. Despite a judge ordering for him to be hospitalized, reports indicate he has not received adequate care. US representatives visiting in June found him in critical condition with double pneumonia and significant weight loss, prompting calls for his immediate release.
As the Gambaryan trial resumed on September 2nd, 2024, his legal team requested bail on medical grounds, citing his need for surgery. The EFCC has opposed this request, claiming his condition is manageable. A bail hearing is scheduled for September 4th. His health and treatment remain a major concern for his family, the Binance community, and international advocates.
