BREAKING: ZachXBT Exposes $LAB's $6B FDV Insider Scheme, 95% Supply Controlled
BREAKING: On-chain sleuth ZachXBT just dropped a bombshell investigation into $LAB, the token now sitting at a $6 billion fully diluted valuation.
Key takeaways
- On-chain investigator ZachXBT published an investigation alleging that more than 95% of $LAB's total supply is controlled by insiders, with the token at a $6 billion fully diluted valuation.
- ZachXBT alleges the LAB price pump is engineered through private loans, OTC placements, and coordinated market maker activity hidden from retail investors.
- A private loan to BVI shell entity The Lab Management Ltd. (director Vladimir Sadkov) carries a 7.5% monthly interest rate over six months and can be repaid in LAB tokens at market rate, giving insiders control over when tokens reach the open market.
- Investigators found the same borrower wallet conducting visible LAB buybacks and traced flows to exchange accounts allegedly tied to Sadkov, with funds appearing mixed across LAB and the founders' prior project Eesee ($ESE).
- ZachXBT concluded that LAB represents "everything wrong with the current meta of retail extraction."
BREAKING: On-chain sleuth ZachXBT just dropped a bombshell investigation into $LAB, the token now sitting at a $6 billion fully diluted valuation.
The number to know: more than 95% of total LAB supply is controlled by insiders.
JUST IN: ZachXBT alleges the LAB pump is being engineered through private loans, OTC placements, and coordinated market maker activity, all hidden from retail.
The token launched October 2025. Founders: Vova Sadkov and Mark. Same team behind Eesee ($ESE), a project investors say was abandoned.
Red flags stacking up fast. CoinGecko, RootData, and CoinMarketCap each report wildly different circulating supply figures. No clear distribution disclosed.
Backers attached to the name: Lemniscap, OKX, Animoca, GSR, Gate, KuCoin, Mirana, Amber.
ZachXBT's report cites a unilateral vesting change. The Legion public sale cliff was stretched from 3 months to 9 months. Investors learned through back-channel messages, not official announcements.
Creator payments? Delayed by months, per multiple reports.
The shadow banking layer is the real story. One private loan contract carries a 7.5% monthly interest rate over six months. Borrower: The Lab Management Ltd., a BVI shell entity. Director: Vladimir Sadkov.
The kicker. The loan can be repaid in LAB tokens at market rate if cash isn't available. That clause gives insiders direct control over when tokens hit the open market.
JUST IN: The same borrower wallet is also conducting publicly visible LAB buybacks. Internal financing and market operations are linked at the wallet level.
On-chain analyst sjdedic backed up ZachXBT's findings with additional supply data.
Investigators traced flows from borrowing wallets to exchange accounts allegedly tied to Sadkov personally. Some of those accounts received prior deposits linked to Eesee.
Translation: corporate funds and personal funds appear mixed across two projects.
The retail extraction playbook is laid bare. Thin float. Concentrated supply. OTC deals that bypass public markets. Vesting terms changed without notice.
ZachXBT's verdict: LAB represents "everything wrong with the current meta of retail extraction."
Watch the wallets. More disclosures expected.
