Haliey Welch Files Class Action Lawsuit Following Hawk Tuah Meme Coin Scandal

The “Hawk Tuah” Girl, as she’s also known, announced the release of a crypto altcoin branded $HAWK earlier this month that soared to a market cap

Haliey Welch, who became known as the “Hawk Tuah” Girl after launching a meme coin that quickly lost nearly all of its value, has returned to social media following two weeks of silence.

Welch announced the release of a crypto altcoin earlier this month that soared to a market cap of close to $500 million before quickly plummeting to a loss of 95 percent of its value. She put out a tweet denying any wrongdoing in the immediate aftermath before disappearing.

She was back on Friday to reveal she was working with a law firm to take those responsible to task.

“I take this situation extremely seriously and want to address my fans, the investors who have been affected, and the broader community,” Welch wrote on Friday. “I am fully cooperating with and am committed to assisting the legal team representing the individuals impacted, as well as to help uncover the…”

A class action lawsuit has since been filed by the law firm named in Welch's tweet against the creators of the $HAWK coin.

The legal team have also suggested that Welch was a victim as she was fed bad information by people who were simply trying to take advantage of her viral success.

Welch is expected to return to regular programming once she clears her name.
