anchored·3WJ9Ex…upGASummary
LAB is a multi-chain AI trading terminal token that launched its TGE in October 2025 and surged over 350% to a $6 billion fully diluted valuation in early May 2026 before crashing more than 65%. On-chain investigator ZachXBT published findings alleging that insiders control approximately 95% of the token supply, that 100 million LAB tokens worth roughly $480 million were withdrawn from Bitget to 10 freshly created wallets within a 12-hour window, and that the team orchestrated a coordinated retail extraction scheme involving OTC discount deals, unilateral vesting extensions, unpaid marketing obligations, and coercive KOL agreements. No public denial or response has been issued by the project's founders.
