$4.4 billion in #crypto is set to be the largest pile of criminal proceeds ever sold off by the US. The former #IRS agent who seized the record-breaking sum, meanwhile, languishes in a Nigerian jail cell. Tigran Gambaryan, the IRS criminal investigator who traced and seized the record-breaking sum of #cryptocurrency, was invited to Abuja to negotiate with the Nigerian government earlier this year. Instead, the Nigerian government detained Gambaryan, took his passport, and has now jailed him for over six months, charging him with #money laundering and #taxevasion as a proxy for his #employer. Do you think the #WhiteHouse is applying enough pressure on Nigeria to free Gambaryan? Have your say in the comments.
