Shocking Bribery Scandal: Nigerian Officials Caught Red-Handed! 😱💰

by

Oh, gather ’round, dear readers, for a tale so wild it could make a wily fox blush! Our hero, Tigran Gambaryan, a Binance bigwig and a U.S. citizen, found himself in a sticky situation in Nigeria. After spending a whopping eight months in a rather dreary custody, he’s come out swinging with some jaw-dropping claims! 🎩✨

Picture this: Tigran, minding his own business, gets lured into a meeting that was as real as a chocolate teapot! The Nigerian Department of State Services (DSS) had a cunning plan up their sleeves. They wanted a bribe—a staggering $150 million! Yes, you heard that right! They decided to use Binance as their scapegoat in a tax evasion caper. Talk about a plot twist! 🕵️‍♂️💸

In a cheeky post on ‘X’ (formerly known as Twitter, because why not?), Tigran spilled the beans about how he was tricked into this farcical meeting. The officials, with their fake cameras and staged media, tried to make it look all official-like. But guess what? The cameras weren’t even plugged in! It was a Mickey Mouse operation at its finest! 🎭🐭

“They set up fake cameras and media to make the meeting appear official, but the cameras weren’t even plugged in. As you may already know, this ended with them asking for a $150 million bribe, paid in cryptocurrency into their personal wallets. A Mickey Mouse operation at its best,” said Tigran.

Now, let’s not forget the juicy bit about the Nigerian government claiming Binance facilitated a whopping $26 billion in unreported crypto transactions. Tigran, however, wasn’t having any of it! He argued that these figures were as real as a unicorn in a tutu—just a bunch of fake trade activity! 🦄💃

But alas, our poor Tigran faced a dreadful ordeal during his eight-month stay in custody. He was treated worse than a soggy biscuit, and his health took a nosedive! With a herniated disc and a limp that could make a pirate jealous, he cried out for help while the court proceedings went on as if he were just a pesky fly buzzing around. 🦟⚖️

Finally, after a chorus of worldwide outrage and a sprinkle of public scrutiny, Tigran was freed! The Nigerian authorities, perhaps feeling the heat, dismissed all charges against him. But the questions linger like a bad smell—what about those officials and their dubious crypto practices? The plot thickens! 🍿🤔
