ZachXBT said on X that LAB was running another market-manipulation scheme through Bitget spot, after earlier criticizing the project founder’s centralized-exchange activity. The warning put LAB’s rapid rally under fresh scrutiny as traders questioned whether the move reflected organic demand or coordinated insider control.
Hello Gracy.
The community has not received any update about the investigation of RAVE.

Every new token running similar scams only hurts the credibility of the industry further.

The alert affects LAB holders, short sellers and exchange users tracking unusually thin or controlled token markets. SpecterAnalyst said LAB had become the latest pump-and-dump token and claimed wallets linked to the team still controlled a significant portion of supply. ZachXBT also said each new token using similar tactics hurts the industry’s credibility.

The LAB team, @vsadkovv, appears to control a significant portion of the supply. Wallets linked to the team still… pic.twitter.com/O7MnoQBkgL

The next point to watch is whether exchanges or project insiders respond with verifiable disclosures. For now, the issue remains an allegation-driven market integrity warning rather than a formal enforcement action, leaving traders to weigh liquidity, supply concentration and CEX activity before taking exposure.
