A post by Synapse Labs on X (Twitter) on September 5 raised the eyebrows of many in the crypto community. The post highlights the unusual incident that suddenly resulted in a drop in the price of SYN by over 20%. Synapse Labs confirmed that an unnamed liquidity provider sold off SYN tokens while also removing the liquidity from the bridge. 
What actually happened? Let’s take a look at the whole incident.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="strong-who-is-behind-the-incident-strong">Who is Behind the Incident?&nbsp;</h2> 
Synapse Labs, founded in 2007, is a leading Contract Research Organization (CRO) that came up with news that stirred the entire crypto community. The company confirmed the news on platform X (formerly Twitter).&nbsp;&nbsp; 
On September 5, the lab confirmed that one of its liquidity providers sold the SYN tokens and removed liquidity. Synapse Labs is one of the main contributors to the cross-chain bridge SYN tokens. Adding to the statement, the lab also confirmed that the incident is not related to any security breaches and that user funds are safe.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
The news spread throughout the crypto community and the discussion surrounding the incident unexpectedly dropped the price of SYN Token. However, Synapse Labs has not come up with the name of a possible suspect and stated that an investigation is going on.&nbsp; 
A report from <a href="https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2023/09/01/sky-high-standards-how-chancers-presale-is-thrashing-new-cryptocurrency-charts/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Cryptocurrency</a> analyst Lookchain revealed that a whale just received 10 Million SYN tokens from the Synapse Executor 2 wallet.&nbsp; In addition, Scopescan, a data analytics platform reported Nima Capital as a major name behind the whole incident. The report reveals that Nima Capital might hold the address that sold the token.&nbsp; 
Nima Capital is a crypto-centric investment firm that was founded in 2013 and made more than 25 investments in the crypto landscape.&nbsp; 
Prior to this case, in March 2023, the company offered to provide a total of $40 Million in liquidity for Synapse’s pool over 12 months. In addition, for investigation purposes, Nima Capital’s website has been taken down followed by the locking of its X account.&nbsp; 
Although the incident did not impact user funds, it raised many questions in the crypto community related to the reliability and transparency of liquidity providers in the crypto environment.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="strong-the-performance-of-synapse-token-strong">The Performance of Synapse Token</h2>
