A series of significant legal and regulatory actions have targeted individuals and entities associated with the cryptocurrency exchange Binance, highlighting growing scrutiny in the sector. A U.S. district court has imposed stricter bail conditions on Binance's founder, Changpeng Zhao, including the surrender of his Canadian passport, restrictions on his travel within the United States until sentencing, and a requirement to notify pretrial services before any domestic travel. Concurrently, Nigerian officials have detained Tigran Gambaryan, Binance's top crypto crime investigator, and Nadeem Anjarwalla, a regional manager for Africa, without their passports for two weeks. Additionally, the Nigerian government is seeking detailed information from Binance about its top 100 users in the country and all transactions over the past six months, and has summoned Binance CEO Richard Teng. These developments come amidst a broader context where a judge has denied a request to return over $300 million in assets to holders of a cryptocurrency issued by bankrupt Chinese exile Ho Wan Kwok's Himalaya Exchange, citing the federal government's continued interest in the seized property.
