Bitget Unleashes Legal Firestorm: Eight Accounts Accused of $20M VOXEL Market Manipulation
Crypto exchange Bitget draws a line in the sand—filing lawsuits against eight accounts for alleged coordinated manipulation of VOXEL tokens. The move comes after suspicious trading activity wiped out $20M in value, leaving retail bagholders fuming.
Market integrity or PR stunt? Bitget’s legal offensive follows a familiar crypto exchange playbook—acting tough after the damage is done. Because nothing says ’trust us’ like closing the barn door after the horse has bolted—and the barn has burned down.
This isn’t your grandma’s pump-and-dump. The alleged scheme involved sophisticated wash trading and spoofing tactics across multiple accounts. Proving intent? That’s where Bitget’s legal team earns their Bitcoin bonuses.
While exchanges love touting ’self-regulation,’ this case exposes crypto’s dirty secret: the house always wins—until regulators finally show up with handcuffs.
