    In a year of dramatic crypto stories, among the most striking was that of Tigran Gambaryan, a former IRS agent and Binance executive who was detained for eight months in Nigeria on charges of money laundering. Taking in daring escapes, courtroom collapses, and Congressional resolutions, the unfolding saga was akin to a Hollywood movie—but with very real consequences for those involved. Here’s how the story unfolded. Gambaryan, a U.S. citizen, joined Binance as the crypto exchange’s VP of Global...
