1/ An investigation into the opaque private loans/OTC, unilateral vesting changes, market maker coordination, unknown float, and >95% supply control behind $LAB's recent pump to $6B FDV. Here's why @LABtrade_ represents everything wrong with the current meta of retail extraction on major centralized exchanges.

4/ One of several loan contracts offered privately: 7.5%/month for 6 months. Borrower is a BVI shell, The Lab Management Ltd., signed by Vladimir (Vova) Sadkov as director. On default, repayment is in LAB (the native token) at "market price". Borrower address: 0xf09C19328C26088053a8c9CfB982427bafF2Bd0b Note: It's a draft contract from Q1 2026, but an unnamed source confirmed interest payments were made under similar terms.

Hello Gracy. The community has not received any update about the investigation of RAVE. While now LAB is running yet another market manipulation scheme via Bitget spot. Every new token running similar scams only hurts the credibility of the industry further. Yes CEXs want fees generated by volume however is destroying retail traders the best way to drive it? (Also Binance/OKX/Bybit perps seems to be a potential source)

Price manipulation now happens almost every week, with $LAB by @LABtrade_ becoming the latest pump-and-dump token while Bitget continues playing the usual CEX role. The LAB team, @vsadkovv, appears to control a significant portion of the supply. Wallets linked to the team still hold large allocations: 0x7Cfd8d2d8626B287bEA569b5e65AB5CBb75E9265 0x78a79D0fa0Eaf58741f5Bde7E05b5CC8F33D24d3 0x36FC85Ec486C254c9564d66de8c4210a1A20C291 0xf79ff8a5052E969a6d13E18c4E439fE5202B02Fa 0xB4b74D63F30076870d54aB9E8E6a7D18293273c3 0xe03722dedBf090Ad7A1C8F82ceB86637053E21dd On April 8, a wallet linked to the team (0xe037) deposited 40M LAB worth $13.6M to Bitget: 0x77156a0a621d2Ac7A075C0AC3172707C2e4aa191 The LAB price started pumping on May 1, but a week earlier wallets linked to the team deposited 96M LAB worth around $63M to Bitget: 0xDd77BFbDc11Cd37fD255AE35A4ac39Df1F9d570a 0x6593aa6c31C88397c37f71259625EC92Fe4EE0bF This looks coordinated.

If platforms cannot conduct internal investigations, identify coordinated manipulation, or provide transparency on who is behind these activities, confidence in market integrity keeps declining. ZachXBT still has a reward open for credible intel that lead to identifying the actors behind this operation. Stay smart.

overall, my bias is to be open minded when someone DMs me. Kim Jong Un reached out and said he was interested in onboarding people to zora. I told him he had a bad rap, bad actors aren’t tolerated on base, and he’d need to demonstrate positive impact. I was also willing to hear him out. - I connected him to jacob with an explicit warning - before they actually met, sahil "onboarded" Lazarus Group, and jacob moved too quickly to amplify - less than an hour later Lazarus Group revealed that he was in fact lying and a bad actor and zora removed the profile
