- She claims she is cooperating with a law firm representing investors affected by the failed $HAWK memecoin launch
- Welch says she wants to help uncover the truth, hold responsible parties accountable, and resolve the matter
Internet sensation Haliey Welch, known as the ‘Hawk Tuah‘ girl, has broken her silence following the notorious crash of her branded cryptocurrency, the $HAWK memecoin. This public statement arrives after Mashable reported on her disappearance from the public eye after the disastrous launch.
Haliey Welch Resurfaces
Long-awaited by her fans, Haliey Welch reappeared less than a day after Mashable brought attention to her sudden absence. Her disappearance came on the heels of the failure of her Hawk Tuah branded memecoin, HAWK. In her statement, shared with Mashable and posted on her account, Welch expressed her intention of assisting her fans who suffered financial losses due to the memecoin’s failure. She encouraged those affected by the crypto crash to reach out to the law firm that lodged the lawsuit against the creators of HAWK.
The Silence Following the HAWK’s Collapse
Prior to this statement, the last public interaction from Welch was during an audio stream on December 4. Welch, alongside the crypto group responsible for the memecoin project, attempted to clarify why HAWK collapsed shortly after its launch. Since this event, Welch disappeared from the public eye for over two weeks, causing her popular podcast, Talk Tuah, to go on an unexpected hiatus.
Welch’s Position on the HAWK Project
According to Welch’s statement, she asserts that her involvement in the HAWK memecoin project was limited to lending her brand and star power for its promotion. “I take this situation extremely seriously and want to address my fans, the investors who have been affected, and the broader community,” reads Welch’s statement. She expressed her full cooperation with the legal team representing those impacted, and her commitment to uncovering the truth, holding the guilty parties accountable, and resolving the issue.
The Unfortunate Outcome of the HAWK Launch
The HAWK memecoin, based on Welch’s viral Hawk Tuah catchphrase, was launched on December 4. Like many other celebrity-endorsed cryptocurrency projects, HAWK was ‘rug pulled’, which typically implies that a few insiders who held the majority of the crypto tokens dumped their holdings shortly after the memecoin launched to the public. As a result, the coin’s market cap fell by millions of dollars, causing immense losses for many of Welch’s fans and investors.
Conclusion
Amidst the controversy, fans of Talk Tuah can take comfort in Welch’s plans to continue her podcast as soon as she clarifies her involvement in the HAWK project. As the fallout from the HAWK memecoin crash continues to unravel, the spotlight remains on Welch, her role in the debacle, and the future of her brand.
