My $150 Bribery Allegation Against Nigerian Lawmakers True - Gambaryan by Bobloco(op): 1:52am On Feb 16, 2025

....insists

Binance’s Head of Financial Crime Compliance, Tigran Gambaryan, has insisted that his allegations that three Nigerian lawmakers asked for $150 million bribe to prevent his arrest and prosecution in Nigeria for alleged financial crimes were true.

Gambaryan made the allegations on his X handle on Friday, naming Ginger Onwusibe, Philip Agbese and Peter Akpanke as the lawmakers.

He claimed the legislators asked him to wire the funds to their cryptocurrency wallets.

As of the time of this report, Onwusibe and Agbese had denied the allegation, threatening to seek redress in court.

In a post on X on Saturday, the Binance executive said: “Many requested that I stay on and provide further commentary on the issues I posted about yesterday. Here’s the hard truth: what I shared was meant to fill in the gaps left by Wired and NPR’s reporting.

“The reality is that last year was incredibly painful for me and my family. I dedicated my life to fighting crime as a Special Agent with the United States Department of the Treasury and as a compliance profession. It was an honor to serve my country and it was a blessing that they came to my rescue and mobilized the full force of the U.S. government when I was in need.”

Gambaryan recalled the pain his family went through during his incarceration.

“Being dragged through court on outrageous, baseless, and trumped-up charges didn’t just hurt me—it also brought immense pain to my family,” he wrote.

“I don’t want to see my kids cry because I’m not around. I don’t want to see videos of my 75-year-old mother on television in tears. I don’t want to see my wife crying on TV. I want to put this nightmare behind me and move on.

“What I shared was factual, based on my personal experiences and conversations with those who have direct knowledge of the events I discussed. Information that was shared with both Nigerian and U.S law enforcement. So please, allow me to leave this behind and find peace.

“I am no longer in law enforcement. The responsibility of seeing this through to a logical conclusion now falls on those still serving in United States and Nigeria

If the Nigerian government said you did it, then it means you didn't do it. The Nigerian government has a penchant for lies and deception. We apologise for the way you were treated.

Go to hell and let corruption and foolishness thrive in Nigeria. That's what you are saying to him, right? All of the things you benefit from the corrupt government you defend will one day crumble before your eyes. This I promise you.

.
The law makers did it.
The efcc chairman did it.
The law enforcement agencies involved did it.

None of them are innocent.

Yes they did everything they were accused of. I don't care what they were accused of but as long as it's bad and evil, they did it.

They are all guilty.

Don't say it too loud. 90% of Nigerians believed you anyway. We know our politicians, our own role very well. Nothing goes for nothing. Even us here, the real Nigerians had to bribe our ways out if there's any wrong or right allegation is laid against us. You go to police station to check a friend, you must pay money, you report a case or crime against you, you must pay and the criminal you reported must also pay. You want to get a government contract, you must pay and still pay and pay before been awarded the contract......you go to government hospital, you must pay before an appointment is granted....I tire sef.....nothing you do without bribing a government official or politicians... during GEJ era.if you need to see Jonathan in Aso Rock, I was told that you must pay Madam Patience, the Wife of the President then...

This is a normal situation in Nigeria. Everyone knows that unless you are lying to yourself . I will advise the man to save his energy. Nothing will ever come out of it because its what all politicians do. If a man caught on camera can be the chairman of the ruling party then why are you bothering yourself.

No one reasonable person doubted your story.

You have done your part to bring to open the character of those that currently call themselves leaders in Nigeria(NSA/EFCC Chairman and Lawbreakers asking for bribes from you, a known narcotics bag man and a cerificate forger as the President, incompetent Finance Minister and CBN Governor claiming exchange rates were manipulated
to cover their ineptitude, a man accused of stealing billions of naira while as Governor of Akwa Ibom state now as the Senate President, a man caught stuffing $$$ in his babariga as the party chairman, Orji Uzor Kalu, a convicted fellow now making laws for law abiding citizens, etc, etc, etc.....)

It is now left to the citizens to make the right call of either sendng them packing in 2027 or carry them shoulder high as their "gods"
