Box 3159, Road Town, Tortola, BVI, with Vladimir (Vova) Sadkov listed as Director. The token generation event (TGE) took place on October 14, 2025. The platform reported $700 million in trading volume and $3.5 million in revenue within its first three months, with approximately 30,000 active traders. LAB was listed on Binance Alpha, Bitget, KuCoin, Gate.io, and MEXC. The total token supply is 1 billion LAB, with reported circulating supply of approximately 309.95 million at the time of the investigation.","heading":"Project Overview","severity":"low","sources":[{"credibility":2,"name":"LAB Token TGE Launches with Airdrop Seasons | Phemex News","type":"news_article","url":"https://phemex.com/news/article/lab-token-launches-tge-with-airdrop-seasons-and-deflationary-model-24801"},{"credibility":2,"name":"What Is LAB and Why This Multi-Chain Trading Terminal Token Just Surged 364% in a Single Day | Phemex","type":"news_article","url":"https://phemex.com/academy/what-is-lab-token-and-why-it-surged"},{"credibility":2,"name":"ZachXBT Alleges 95% LAB Token Are Controlled by Insiders | CryptoTimes","type":"news_article","url":"https://www.cryptotimes.io/2026/05/14/zachxbt-alleges-95-lab-token-are-controlled-by-insiders/"}]},{"content":"LAB's identified founders are Vova Sadkov (X handle: @vsadkovv), described as a UAE-based developer with approximately 133,400 followers on X, and Mark (X handle: @tokensaler), a Dubai-based self-described 'Listing and Marketing Advisor' with approximately 16,100 X followers. Both previously co-founded Eesee (ticker: ESE), an NFT marketplace on the Blast chain, whose token launched in April 2024 and was trading down approximately 93.2% from its all-time high as of May 2026.

The investigation identified that between March and April 2026, wallets linked to the LAB team deposited 226 million LAB tokens across five Bitget addresses, each holding 30 to 60 million LAB, where the tokens remained dormant. In a 12-hour window on May 11 to 12, 2026, approximately 100 million LAB tokens — then valued at roughly $480 million — were withdrawn from Bitget's hot wallet (identified on Arkham Intelligence as address beginning 0x1AB) to 10 freshly created receiving addresses, each receiving between 8.6 and 10.8 million LAB tokens (valued at $41.5 to $52.92 million per wallet). ZachXBT noted that the true public float was likely materially lower than the reported circulating supply figure of 309.95 million.

ZachXBT alleges this price movement was engineered in coordination with an unknown market maker operating through Bitget and secondary venues including Binance and Gate.io. On June 2, 2026, LAB collapsed 77% within two hours, falling from a record high of $27.96 on MEXC to approximately $6, erasing close to $6 billion in market value in a single candle. ZachXBT characterized the concentrated insider ownership as capable of being used as 'fuel' for short squeezes against bearish traders before coordinated dumping. On-chain flow diagrams produced using TRM Labs tooling allegedly connect the LAB team's multisig infrastructure — specifically a signer at address 0xcEA7...eBC9 — to the same entities ZachXBT previously identified in the RIVER token manipulation, where the same insider received more than $12 million in RIVER tokens sent to centralized exchange deposit addresses.","heading":"Alleged Price Manipulation and Token Pump","severity":"critical","sources":[{"credibility":2,"name":"ZachXBT Says 95% of LAB Token Is Insider-Controlled as Investigation Exposes Multi-Front Retail Rug | Bitcoin News","type":"news_article","url":"https://news.bitcoin.com/zachxbt-lab-token-insider-control-bitget-investigation-2026/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"LAB Crashes 77% From Peak, $6 Billion Wiped, Crypto Community Outraged | BeInCrypto","type":"news_article","url":"https://beincrypto.com/lab-crashes-77-from-peak-6-billion-wiped-crypto-community-outraged/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"ZachXBT Names RAVE, RIVER, SIREN, and LAB as Victims of Bitget-Enabled Market Maker Fraud | Bitcoin News","type":"news_article","url":"https://news.bitcoin.com/zachxbt-bitget-supply-control-manipulation-rave-river-siren-lab-2026/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"LAB insiders tighten grip as ZachXBT rips into exchange-fueled token game | crypto.news","type":"news_article","url":"https://crypto.news/lab-insiders-tighten-grip-as-zachxbt-rips-into-exchange-fueled-token-game/"}]},{"content":"ZachXBT's investigation referenced leaked KOL (Key Opinion Leader) pitch decks showing LAB offering token allocations at steep discounts with mandatory promotional obligations. According to the disclosed terms, one arrangement offered LAB at $1 per token when the token was trading near $5 — an 80% discount — with 50% unlocking August 14, 2026, and the remainder unlocking September 15, 2026. The condition for receiving the discounted allocation required KOLs to publish a minimum of two promotional posts per month, totaling eight posts before the unlock date, or face blacklisting from future deals. Additional OTC tiers documented by ZachXBT included a 60% discount with a 2-month cliff and vesting (offered when the token was at $1.87), a 25% recalculating monthly discount promising approximately 33% profit over six months, and a 20% guaranteed discount with monthly payouts. These arrangements were not disclosed to retail investors.","heading":"KOL Pitch Deck and Coercive Marketing Agreements","severity":"critical","sources":[{"credibility":2,"name":"ZachXBT Alleges 95% LAB Token Are Controlled by Insiders | CryptoTimes","type":"news_article","url":"https://www.cryptotimes.io/2026/05/14/zachxbt-alleges-95-lab-token-are-controlled-by-insiders/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"ZachXBT Says 95% of LAB Token Is Insider-Controlled as Investigation Exposes Multi-Front Retail Rug | Bitcoin News","type":"news_article","url":"https://news.bitcoin.com/zachxbt-lab-token-insider-control-bitget-investigation-2026/"}]},{"content":"The investigation documented unilateral vesting changes affecting public sale participants. The original Legion public sale terms provided a 3-month cliff followed by 8-month linear vesting, with tokens unlocking at month 11. The team subsequently updated these terms to 0% at TGE, a 9-month cliff, and 6-month linear vesting, pushing the first unlock to month 15. The team framed this change as supporting 'long-term stability.' Simultaneously, insiders were allegedly taking OTC loans at 7.5% monthly interest (equivalent to approximately 90% annualized) with a 6-month duration and default repayment in LAB tokens at market price, payable to ERC-20 address 0xf09C19328C26088053a8c9CfB982427bafF2Bd0b. Cookie DAO, which managed creator marketing campaigns for LAB, announced in October 2025 that 40% of LAB rewards were unlocked with 60% subject to a 6-month vesting schedule; as of May 2026, multiple creators reported receiving none of the promised 60% after waiting over six months.","heading":"Vesting and OTC Loan Manipulation","severity":"high","sources":[{"credibility":2,"name":"ZachXBT Alleges 95% LAB Token Are Controlled by Insiders | CryptoTimes","type":"news_article","url":"https://www.cryptotimes.io/2026/05/14/zachxbt-alleges-95-lab-token-are-controlled-by-insiders/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"ZachXBT alleges 95% insider control of LAB token in investigation into AI terminal's $6 billion FDV project | The Block","type":"news_article","url":"https://www.theblock.co/post/401290/zachxbt-alleges-95-insider-control-of-lab-token-in-investigation-into-ai-terminals-6-billion-fdv-project"}]},{"content":"ZachXBT publicly accused Bitget of enabling the LAB manipulation scheme and named Shawn Liu — described as Bitget's actual decision-maker operating behind the publicly-facing CEO Gracy Chen — as a key enabler. ZachXBT stated: '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.' He further characterized Bitget as part of a 'Chinese CEX cartel' that has 'gone unchallenged for years and doesn't care as long as they benefit from the activity.' The 100 million LAB token withdrawal on May 11 to 12 originated from Bitget's hot wallet. Bitget had previously been implicated in a separate incident in April 2026 involving the VOXEL token, in which an estimated $100 million loss was attributed to eight accounts allegedly exploiting a market-making bot. ZachXBT also named RAVE, RIVER, SIREN, MYX, and SKYAI as part of the same alleged Bitget-enabled market maker fraud pattern. Neither Bitget nor Shawn Liu issued a public statement in response to these allegations as of the time of reporting.","heading":"Bitget Exchange Involvement and 'Chinese CEX Cartel' Allegations","severity":"critical","sources":[{"credibility":2,"name":"ZachXBT Calls Bitget Part of 'Chinese CEX Cartel' After 100M Lab Tokens Exit | CryptoTimes","type":"news_article","url":"https://www.cryptotimes.io/2026/05/12/zachxbt-calls-bitget-part-of-chinese-cex-cartel-after-100m-lab-tokens-exit/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"ZachXBT Names Bitget's Real Boss, Warns Escalation Against Chinese CEX 'Cartel' Is Coming | Bitcoin News","type":"news_article","url":"https://news.bitcoin.com/zachxbt-bitget-shawn-liu-cex-cartel-2026/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"ZachXBT Names RAVE, RIVER, SIREN, and LAB as Victims of Bitget-Enabled Market Maker Fraud | Bitcoin News","type":"news_article","url":"https://news.bitcoin.com/zachxbt-bitget-supply-control-manipulation-rave-river-siren-lab-2026/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"ZachXBT accuses projects like LAB of highly questionable price action, posts $10,000 bounty | The Block","type":"news_article","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"}]},{"content":"ZachXBT posted a $10,000 personal bounty seeking identification documentation or insider evidence relating to LAB founder Vova Sadkov (alias @vsadkovv). The specific evidence requested included contracts, chat records, and insider documents relating to LAB's market-making activities across four exchanges: Bitget spot, Bybit perpetuals, Binance perpetuals, and OKX perpetuals. ZachXBT called on Binance, Bitget, and Gate.io to either freeze insider profits and redistribute them to retail participants, or delist LAB immediately. No delisting by any named exchange had been publicly confirmed as of the investigation period.

Extreme price volatility, thin liquidity, and deeply negative funding rates made the hedge unsustainable, forcing PiggyBank to close its short while retaining an illiquid LAB position valued at approximately $1.35 million. The resulting NAV drawdowns were approximately 15% for the USDC vault, 12% for the SPYx vault, and 9% for the JitoSOL vault.
