Richard Teng, CEO of Binance, wrote today about the charges faced by Binance executive Tigran Gambaryan in Nigeria that an unidentified person had approached the exchange's employees and suggested a payment to resolve the charges. Teng said that the agent representing the HCFC committee passed the terms to Binance's local lawyer: "The lawyer reported that he was asked to secretly pay a large amount of cryptocurrency within 48 hours to resolve these issues, and we expect a decision in the morning." Binance rejected the payment request through its local legal representative and continues to engage in settlement negotiations. After the incident, Binance made several requests and is ready to continue negotiations with Nigerian authorities.
