The Chief Executive Officer of Binance Holdings Limited, Richard Teng, has reacted to the decision of the Nigerian government to drop all money laundering charges against its executive, Tigran Gambaryan.

Teng said Gambaryan was resilient in the face of adversity.

The Nigerian government had dropped all money laundering charges against Gambaryan citing diplomatic reasons.

Newspot recalled that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, had in April arraigned Gambaryan for alleged money laundering.

Gambaryan, a United States citizen, has been in detention since February following the clampdown on the cryptocurrency firm over alleged manipulation of the naira.
