**News Flash: Binance Exec Detained in Nigeria, Calls for US Intervention**

Tigran Gambaryan, a Binance executive, has been detained in Nigeria since February, sparking calls for US intervention. His mother, Knarik Gambaryan, has urged US authorities to secure his release, citing his deteriorating health.

Gambaryan, a former IRS special agent, was detained alongside colleague Nadeem Anjarwalla on charges of tax evasion and money laundering. While tax evasion charges were dropped, the money laundering case continues.

US lawmakers and crypto leaders are advocating for his release, with a bail hearing set for October 9. Gambaryan's health issues, including pneumonia and a herniated disc, have raised further concerns.
