According to CoinDesk, Binance executive Tigran Gambaryan, who was kidnapped and illegally imprisoned in Nigeria for eight months, has been recommended for multiple positions in the Trump administration, such as the SEC’s head of crypto assets or the leadership of the FBI’s cyber unit. According to people familiar with the matter, the advice to the Trump transition team came from people associated with Trump’s participation in the Bitcoin 2024 Nashville conference, including the event’s organizer David Bailey and Kraken’s head of strategic initiatives Tracy Hoyos-López . Tigran Gambaryan said it would be an honor to be asked to serve his country again to fight crypto crime under the new Trump administration. Gambaryan, who has served as Binance’s head of financial crimes compliance for the past two years, is a former federal agent and a member of an elite group of federal government early crypto trackers.
