{"investigation":{"slug":"lab-token-vova-sadkov","entity_name":"LAB Token / Vova Sadkov","trust_score":4,"severity_base":null,"score_modifier":0,"confidence":0.82,"status":"draft","content_type":"investigation","summary":"LAB is an AI-powered multi-chain trading terminal whose native token briefly reached a $6 billion fully diluted valuation in early June 2026 before collapsing more than 77% within hours. On-chain investigator ZachXBT alleges that insiders controlled approximately 95% of the token supply and coordinated with an unknown market maker across Bitget, Bybit, Binance, and OKX to engineer the price surge. Founder Vova Sadkov (UAE-based) and co-founder Mark X previously operated the abandoned Eesee (ESE) gamified NFT marketplace, which similarly left investors with significant losses after alleged vesting term changes at its token generation event.","sections":[{"content":"On-chain investigator ZachXBT published findings in May 2026 alleging that insiders controlled more than 95% of the LAB token's total supply of 1 billion tokens. According to ZachXBT's investigation, between March and April 2026 five wallets deposited approximately 226 million LAB tokens into Bitget accounts, where they sat dormant. Separately, around May 11–12, 2026, 10 fresh wallets withdrew approximately 100 million LAB tokens — valued at roughly $480–$482 million by on-chain tracker Lookonchain — from Bitget within a 12-hour window, representing approximately 32.26% of the reported circulating supply of 309.95 million tokens. ZachXBT alleged that approximately 96 million LAB tokens worth $63 million were pre-positioned in Bitget accounts prior to the price surge. On-chain analyst Specter characterized the trading activity as a 'classic pump and dump scheme.' No public response was issued by Vova Sadkov, co-founder Mark X, LABtrade, or Bitget as of the dates of publication of these findings. Discrepancies in circulating supply data were noted across CoinGecko, RootData, and CoinMarketCap, with LAB's own documentation providing no breakdown of distribution, unlock schedules, or vesting.","heading":"Insider Supply Control Allegations","sources":[{"url":"https://www.theblock.co/post/401290/zachxbt-alleges-95-insider-control-of-lab-token-in-investigation-into-ai-terminals-6-billion-fdv-project","name":"ZachXBT alleges 95% insider control of LAB token — The Block","type":"news_article","credibility":2},{"url":"https://news.bitcoin.com/zachxbt-lab-token-insider-control-bitget-investigation-2026/","name":"ZachXBT Says 95% of LAB Token Is Insider-Controlled — Bitcoin News","type":"news_article","credibility":2},{"url":"https://www.cryptotimes.io/2026/05/14/zachxbt-alleges-95-lab-token-are-controlled-by-insiders/","name":"ZachXBT Alleges 95% LAB Token Are Controlled by Insiders — Crypto Times","type":"news_article","credibility":2},{"url":"https://news.bitcoin.com/lab-token-bitget-withdrawal-manipulation-2026/","name":"10 Fresh Wallets Pull 100 Million LAB Tokens Worth $480M From Bitget — Bitcoin News","type":"news_article","credibility":2}],"severity":"critical"},{"content":"LAB token surged more than 350% over approximately 72 hours in early May 2026, reaching a peak of $27.96 on MEXC and a $6 billion fully diluted valuation. The token then collapsed 77% to approximately $6 within two hours, erasing close to $6 billion in market value. A separate buyback announcement on June 1, 2026, pushed the price from $7.31 to $16.24 in 24 hours before the subsequent crash, suggesting additional coordinated price activity. On-chain trackers reported that the dominant addresses moving LAB tokens during the dump were routers, proxy contracts, and settlement infrastructure rather than retail or whale wallets. A single proxy contract allegedly executed more than 4,500 trades inside the two-hour crash window. By dollar value of market cap wiped in a single intraday move during a 2026 token launch, BeInCrypto characterized the collapse as the largest it could identify for that year.","heading":"Price Pump and Collapse","sources":[{"url":"https://beincrypto.com/lab-crashes-77-from-peak-6-billion-wiped-crypto-community-outraged/","name":"LAB Crashes 77% From Peak, $6 Billion Wiped, Crypto Community Outraged — BeInCrypto","type":"news_article","credibility":2},{"url":"https://crypto-economy.com/zachxbt-says-lab-insiders-control-nearly-all-tokens-in-6b-pump/","name":"ZachXBT Says LAB Insiders Control Nearly All Tokens In $6B Pump — Crypto Economy","type":"news_article","credibility":2},{"url":"https://bitcoinworld.co.in/lab-token-surge-fdv-rankings-manipulation-allegations/","name":"LAB Token Surges Past $17, Enters Top 10 FDV Rankings Amid Market Manipulation Allegations — Bitcoin World","type":"news_article","credibility":3}],"severity":"critical"},{"content":"ZachXBT alleged that LAB founder Vova Sadkov coordinated with an unknown market maker to engineer the price surge across four major centralized exchanges: Bitget (spot), Bybit (perpetuals), Binance (perpetuals), and OKX (perpetuals).

ZachXBT additionally named Bitget's founder and chairman Shawn Liu as the alleged behind-the-scenes operator enabling these arrangements, stating 'Shawn Liu is the Bitget big boss who allows these scams to operate behind the scenes while Gracy Chen is only the face of it,' and characterizing the situation as a 'Chinese CEX cartel' that had 'gone unchallenged for years.' Bitget CEO Gracy Chen had previously responded to ZachXBT's earlier RAVE token claims by stating 'Thank you for pointing this out, we have already started investigating the RAVE incident,' but issued no further public follow-up.

Loan agreements signed by Vladimir Sadkov as Director on behalf of The Lab Management Ltd. (a BVI Business Company, Quijano Chambers, P.O. Box 3159, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands) carried a 7.5% monthly interest rate (approximately 90% annualized) for a six-month term. Default provisions required repayment in LAB tokens at market price. Documented OTC discount tiers included: a 60% discount at $1.87 per token with a 2-month cliff and 2-month vesting; stablecoin loans at up to 5% monthly; a 20% guaranteed discount tranche with monthly payouts; and a KOL Capital pitch offering an 80% discount ($1 per token versus approximately $5 market price) with 50% unlocking August 14 and 50% on September 15, requiring a minimum of two promotional social media posts monthly or facing blacklisting. The LAB team also allegedly changed public sale vesting terms unilaterally for Legion sale participants from the original 3-month cliff plus 8-month linear vesting (fully unlocked at month 11) to 0% at TGE, 9-month cliff, then 6-month linear vesting (fully unlocked at month 15). Additionally, Cookie DAO had stated in October 2025 that 40% of LAB creator rewards were unlocked with the remaining 60% following a 6-month vesting schedule; as of May 2026, multiple creators reported receiving none of the remaining 60% after more than six months.","heading":"OTC Loan Structures and KOL Arrangements","sources":[{"url":"https://www.cryptotimes.io/2026/05/14/zachxbt-alleges-95-lab-token-are-controlled-by-insiders/","name":"ZachXBT Alleges 95% LAB Token Are Controlled by Insiders — Crypto Times","type":"news_article","credibility":2},{"url":"https://www.theblock.co/post/400465/zachxbt-accuses-projects-like-lab-of-highly-questionable-price-action-posts-10000-bounty-for-info-on-alleged-market-manipulation","name":"ZachXBT accuses projects like LAB of highly questionable price action — The Block","type":"news_article","credibility":2}],"severity":"high"},{"content":"LAB token was founded by Vova Sadkov (X handle: @vsadkovv), a UAE-based developer with a background in traditional IT startups followed by EdTech and MedTech ventures that he states were scaled and sold before his relocation to Dubai. Co-founder Mark X (@tokelsaler) describes himself as a 'Listing and Marketing Advisor' and Dubai-based facilitator with a claimed network of more than 2,000 KOLs. Both founders previously operated Eesee ($ESE), a gamified NFT marketplace that launched in April 2024 on the Blast chain. Eesee raised $2.85 million across seed and private rounds from investors including SevenX Ventures, Maven Capital, MetaBros, Contango Digital Assets, and BasementDAO. Simon Dedic, a self-described angel investor in Eesee, publicly stated that 'investors got screwed over: vesting terms were changed right before TGE, and there were last-minute refunds so they could maximize the low-float high-FDV ponzi playbook.' ESE traded down approximately 93.2% from its all-time high at the time of Dedic's May 2026 public statement. In May 2026, Dedic publicly advised on social media: 'Sell your $LAB. The same founders launched $ESE just one year earlier, and that chart speaks for itself.

RAVE's alleged manipulation pattern preceded a 95% collapse in April 2026. ZachXBT noted RIVER tokens from wallets identified in the manipulation pattern were also routed through Kraken.
