The Nigerian government has filed a lawsuit against the cryptocurrency exchange Binance for $81.5 billion, accusing the company of economic losses that led to the collapse of the national currency. The Federal Inland Revenue Service of Nigeria claims that Binance has failed to pay taxes for the years 2022 and 2023, and must also pay interest of 26.75 percent on the debt amount. Earlier, Binance executives Tigran Gambaryan and Nadim Anjarwalle were arrested and accused of tax violations and money laundering, but the lawsuits against them were later dismissed.
