Tigran Gambaryan is stepping down from his role as Binance's head of financial crime compliance after facing legal issues in Nigeria.
Gambaryan was detained in Nigeria on allegations of money laundering and currency manipulation during Binance's operations in the country.
All charges against Gambaryan were dropped by the Nigerian government, leading to his release on humanitarian grounds.
Meanwhile, Binance and its co-founder filed a joint motion with the SEC to pause the U.S. case involving alleged securities violations and fund mismanagement.
