labcoin was purportedly a company run by iTec Pro Limited which made claims to several ASIC hardware developments and sought investment by common members of the public.

Many of its claims were refuted and media released was claimed to have been manipulated or be of infeasible design for the claims. By the 5th of November, some of the investors made claims to begin a lawsuit against the people involved in what they believe to have been a scam.
