Binance exec still awaiting bail decision as judge skips hearing for seminar
Detained Binance executive Tigran Gambaryan will have to wait to find out if he’s been granted bail by a Nigerian court after the presiding judge chose to attend a legal seminar instead of his scheduled hearing. As reported by local news outlets, Judge Emeka Nwite chose on Wednesday to attend a seminar at the National Judicial Institute instead of the Abuja Federal High Court. As a result, the Gambaryan’s bail ruling has been rescheduled to take place on Friday. Binance compliance officer Gambaryan has been in prison since February this year and his ruling was deferred by Judge Nwite last month.
