The US is seeking consular access to Binance executive Tigran Gambaryan, who is currently detained in Nigeria and facing charges of money laundering. Concerns about Gambaryan's health have been raised, with the US citing the public statements made by his family as a reason for their concern. Consular access involves government officials checking on the welfare and providing legal representation and medical care to imprisoned nationals. Gambaryan's health has reportedly been deteriorating while in prison, and a bail request has been filed. However, Nigerian officials and the prosecution counsel have disputed his claims of illness. Binance CEO Richard Teng has called for Gambaryan's release for medical treatment and to be with his family, describing his treatment in Nigeria as inhumane.
