Ever feel that knot in your stomach when you or your bot processes a transaction? The one where you wonder: "What if this wallet is sanctioned? What if I just broke OFAC rules without knowing it?"

The compliance tools that would let you sleep at night cost $10k–$20k/year, are built for institutions and completely out of reach if you're a solo developer, small OTC, payment provider, agency, or AI agent builder trying to do things right.

Until today.

OwlScan, a pay-as-you-go compliance screening service, gives you the same institutional-grade intelligence that top exchanges rely on for a small fee per scan. No account signup. No annual contract. Just instant protection when you need it.

Starting now, drop USDC in your @base wallet and screen any address instantly. Each scan includes 48-hour re-screening at no extra cost.

We're in Beta currently supporting @base USDC. Try it and tell us what chain you need next.

WIRED journalist @a_greenberg interviewed @TigranGambaryan, former IRS Criminal Investigations Special Agent and Head of Financial Crime Compliance at Binance, about his 8-month detention in Nigeria, and efforts from the public and private sector to bring about his release. "It was supposed to be a 2-day trip, and then they [his family] didn't see me for months."

[French Hill @RepFrenchHill]

I am honored to welcome @TigranGambaryan as my guest for tonight's address.

An American citizen who was wrongly detained in Nigeria for nine months, Tigran’s story is one of resilience, and I was proud to play a role in securing his release.

As Co-Chair of the Hostage Task Force in the House, I look forward to working with President Trump and his administration as we continue our work to return Americans like Tigran back to their loved ones.

$BNB listed in Hong Kong.

Why is this significant?

HK's current regulatory framework is relatively strict on token listings. HashKey is a licensed exchange in HK. This listing means the regulators approved the BNB listing. It is a stamp of approval for BNB and a signal that HK is taking steps to open up its regulatory policies further.

Good on both fronts! 👏

[Tigran Gambaryan @TigranGambaryan]

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

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.

And for those who wonder why I took this personally—watch this video of my mother:

TIGRAN GAMBARYAN LEAVES NIGERIA AFTER 8 MONTHS UNLAWFUL DETENTION
October 23rd, 2024

Today, American citizen Tigran Gambaryan left Nigeria to return home to his family after eight months of unlawful detention.

The charges brought against him by the Nigerian Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) were dropped in court in Abuja yesterday. The EFCC prosecutor stated in court:

“The government has reviewed the case and, taking into consideration that the second defendant (Mr. Gambaryan) is an employee of the first defendant (Binance Holdings Limited), whose status in the matter has more impact than the second defendant’s, and also taking into consideration some critical international and diplomatic reasons, the state seeks to discontinue the case against the second defendant.”

Tigran was released from Kuje prison last night.

Tigran’s health has suffered significantly while in prison, and he will now finally receive the medical attention he desperately requires.

Tigran’s wife, Yuki Gambaryan, has released the following statement:

“It is a huge relief that this day has finally come. The past eight months have been a living nightmare. I wish it hadn’t taken this long for his release, or that his health had not declined so much, but we can now focus on healing as a family. I want to express my deepest gratitude to the US government for their efforts in securing his release. I also want to thank everyone who helped us throughout this ordeal. There were moments I feared this day would never come, but Tigran’s supporters gave me hope and strength. The road ahead for Tigran’s recovery is going to be difficult, and I appreciate us being given the time and space to focus on that. Our children cannot wait to see their dad again.”
