UPDATE: A few days after I posted about the criminal behavior the $LAB team are committing on Bitget, there has still been no response from @vsadkovv or @GracyBitget , and the manipulation continues.
Late yesterday, a total of 100M $LAB (~$479M) was withdrawn from Bitget to 10 fresh addresses that had been funded with gas fees three days earlier.
It’s interesting that a token nobody knows or uses is now among the top 140 cryptocurrencies and the second-largest holding on Bitget (21% of supply) after Bitcoin.
Bitget continues to enable this crime without caring about retail users or what this could mean for the broader crypto community.
Do not short tokens like this unless you are an insider who knows when the crime will end otherwise, you will lose.
Stay smart.
Further tracing clustered $1M + USDT currently sitting on TRON.
I’ve also tried identifying some of the top victims and reached out to them to better understand the root cause of these incidents.

We’ve seen two publicly reported key compromise incidents in the last 36 hours involving @0xUnihax0r and @Eli5defi .
While the attackers are still holding the funds, I can’t yet confirm whether both incidents are linked to the same actor. However, the @Eli5defi attacker clusters with 50+ other victims.
Between March 21 and May 10, the attacker stole $665K+ from more than 50 victims through wallet key compromise.
The stolen funds from @Eli5defi were transferred to the wallet below and consolidated alongside funds from about five other victims:
0x9cc0831DB1b224Fd675a21aC0D0aDdA82631C665
The 0x9cc wallet previously sent 0.02 BNB as gas fees to another victim a week ago. About $41K was drained from that victim and moved to:
0x364be8180CC96eB43da4973f888Ce29cc4FB8C44
This wallet consolidated funds from four additional victims, totaling ~$55K.
The 0x364b wallet later bridged the funds to BNB Chain through two txs and deposited them to HTX. Based on the movement pattern, the attacker likely used the laundering service known as AudiA6.

Using timing analysis, I traced the destination flow to Solana:

J1XSfoR9Ww9tzACSyHXjiJc8MikCWfVQFmG2XMhb1odK
The funds were later deposited into KuCoin and subsequently withdrawn to Tron:
TQLXH45i7JboiDVVF2jSGSiTFEfrUVm62m
The wallet currently holds $173K USDT.
Tracing back the wallet links this cluster to more than 50 victims and ~$665K in losses since March 21, excluding the @0xUnihax0r incident, since I haven’t yet confirmed whether the same actor is involved.
What I can say so far:
Some victim wallets are 4–8 years old, while others are less than a year old
Some wallets were highly active, while others had only a single inbound transaction
Victims used different wallet providers
Just over a week ago, I reported another ~$800K stolen through key compromise incidents:

I still can’t determine exactly how the keys were leaked. I’ll likely need to speak with some victims directly and gather more information.
Still tracing the funds...
Stay smart.
I started blockchain investigation to provide assistance to the community and help victims of hacks and exploits.
Since then, I’ve offered pro bono support on several cases involving stolen funds and on-chain investigations.
If you’ve found any of my work valuable, I’d appreciate your support in the giveth ongoing quadratic funding round.
Even a $1 donation can make a difference 🤝

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

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. Gas fees (0.14 BNB) were distributed a week earlier
0x50f2760fd5E6d546EE7dcEB617F33497A3C38593
0x0559694BbB47dbA8Bc3B7ac93004EF401F2da16d
The wallet below has also been aggressively buying $LAB on-chain and depositing to Gate and Bitget, including tokens like $SkyAI, which surged 1000% in the last 30 days:
0x11fc12b988933966688d33B70651B5f2f450963C
It has been weeks since @GracyBitget promised an investigation, yet there has been no public update. 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.
