The crypto expert continued: “You investigated? Yet you didn’t take a statement from me? A person with direct knowledge. What a joke.

“Get your facts straight. I am done with this foolishness. I said my part. I’ll be off Twitter now since it’s pointless to argue with evil.”

While insisting that his claim was factual despite the denials, Gambaryan explained further:

“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 US law enforcement.

“So please, allow me to leave this behind and find peace”.

He said it was the responsibility of law enforcement agents in both Nigeria and the US to see the investigation into the matter through.
