Haliey Welch 在 Hawk Tuah 加密貨幣崩潰問題上打破沉默，誓言幫助揭開真相

社交媒體明星兼播客哈莉·韋爾奇 (Haliey Welch) 幾週來首次發聲，她在 6 月份因其粗俗的“Hawk Tuah”口號而走紅。

Social media star Haliey Welch has spoken out for the first time in weeks, following the multimillion-dollar collapse of a Hawk Tuah-themed cryptocurrency memecoin.

在以 Hawk Tuah 為主題的加密貨幣 memecoin 價值數百萬美元崩盤後，社交媒體明星哈莉·韋爾奇 (Haliey Welch) 幾週來首次發聲。

Welch, who rose to viral fame in June for her raunchy “Hawk Tuah” catchphrase, last addressed the public in a late-night Twitter Spaces audio stream on the day of the December 4 launch of the $HAWK coin on the Solana blockchain.

韋爾奇在 6 月因其粗俗的“Hawk Tuah”口號而走紅，最後一次在深夜 Twitter Spaces 音訊串流中向公眾發表講話是在 12 月 4 日在 Solana 區塊鏈上推出 $HAWK 代幣當天。

The coin had soared to a $490 million market capitalization then fell 95 percent within minutes, according to Footprint Analytics.

根據 Footprint Analytics 的數據，代幣的市值曾飆升至 4.9 億美元，然後在幾分鐘內下跌了 95%。

On the day of the launch, Welch defended herself from allegations of insider trading, writing on Twitter that her “team hasn’t sold one token.”

發布當天，韋爾奇為自己的內幕交易指控進行了辯護，她在推特上寫道，她的「團隊沒有出售任何代幣」。

However, critics alleged that snipers — entities that snap up large amounts of a token supply at launch — caused the price-drop and held nearly all of the coin’s supply.

然而，批評者聲稱，狙擊手——在發行時搶購大量代幣供應的實體——導致了價格下跌並持有幾乎所有的代幣供應。

According to Cointelegraph, a single wallet managed to buy nearly 20 percent of $HAWK’s supply and flip it for a $1.3 million profit two hours later.

根據 Cointelegraph 報導，一個錢包成功購買了 $HAWK 近 20% 的供應量，並在兩小時後將其轉售，獲利 130 萬美元。

Now, investors in the coin have hit $HAWK’s creators with a lawsuit in New York federal court, seeking over $150,000 in damages and alleging they’d lost thousands on the coin, which they claimed was an illegal unregistered security.

現在，該幣的投資者向紐約聯邦法院提起訴訟，要求$HAWK 的創建者賠償超過15 萬美元，並聲稱他們因該幣而損失了數千美元，他們聲稱這是一種非法的未註冊證券。

The suit accuses the coin of leveraging Welch’s “extensive social media following” to “market the Token as a groundbreaking cryptocurrency project,” while attempting to “skirt the American securities laws” and making “no serious attempt to restrict purchasers” to buyers outside the U.S., ultimately creating a “speculative frenzy.”

該訴訟指控該代幣利用韋爾奇的“廣泛的社交媒體關注”來“將代幣作為突破性的加密貨幣項目進行營銷”，同時試圖“規避美國證券法”，並且“沒有認真嘗試限制購買者」為非美國投資者。美國，最終造成了「投機狂潮」。

The suit names overHere Ltd., a Web3 crypto launchpad platform that helped facilitate the sale; Clinton So, the company’s founder; the Tuah the Moon Foundation, an entity that allegedly sold an allocation of coins; and Alex Larson Schultz, a musician and crypto promoter.

該訴訟名為 overHere Ltd.，這是一個幫助促進銷售的 Web3 加密貨幣啟動平台；蘇（Clinton So），公司創辦人； Tuah the Moon 基金會，該實體據稱出售了一定數量的代幣；亞歷克斯·拉爾森·舒爾茨 (Alex Larson Schultz)，一位音樂家和加密貨幣推廣者。

While Welch herself is not a named defendant, she heavily promoted the coin offering on social media and discussed it on her podcast during an episode with billionaire investor Mark Cuban.

雖然韋爾奇本人並未被列為被告，但她在社交媒體上大力宣傳了代幣發行，並在與億萬富翁投資者馬克·庫班的一集中在播客中討論了這一問題。

In recent days, Cuban has defended Welch.

最近幾天，庫班為韋爾奇辯護。

“It wasn’t something she fully understood,” he said during a podcast with tech journalist Jules Terpak. “But she trusted the people around her.”

「這不是她完全理解的事情，」他在科技記者 Jules Terpak 的播客中說道。 “但她信任周圍的人。”

Both overHere and So have denied any wrongdoing, and have defended Welch.

overHere 和 So 都否認有任何不當行為，並為韋爾奇辯護。

“We have been extremely transparent about the limited scope and extent of our involvement in the Hawk Tuah token project. We are confident that we have done nothing wrong,” a spokesperson for overHere told The Daily Mail on Thursday.

「對於我們參與 Hawk Tuah 代幣專案的有限範圍和程度，我們一直非常透明。我們有信心我們沒有做錯任何事，」overHere 的發言人週四告訴《每日郵報》。

“Haliey’s Team has sold absolutely no tokens whatsoever,” the company wrote on Twitter on December 4. “Haliey’s Team has 10% allocation which is locked for 1 year and vested over 3 years.”

該公司 12 月 4 日在 Twitter 上寫道：“Haliey’s 團隊絕對沒有出售任何代幣。Haliey’s 團隊擁有 10% 的分配，鎖定期為 1 年，歸屬期為 3 年。”

The company has also said it took “zero fees” and “zero profit” during the launch.

該公司還表示，在推出期間收取「零費用」和「零利潤」。

However, the suit alleges that overHere created the Tuah the Moon Foundation, its name a play on Welch’s fame and the crypto slang of an increasing asset going “to the moon.”

然而，該訴訟稱，overHere 創建了 Tuah the Moon 基金會，其名稱取自韋爾奇的名聲和「前往月球」不斷增加的資產的加密俚語。

According to the suit, overHere constructed the foundation to sell a 17 percent allocation of the $HAWK tokens. The suit also alleges the foundation controlled a wallet that collected fees on token transactions, ultimately raking in around $3 million.

根據訴訟，overHere 建立基金會的目的是出售 17% 的 $HAWK 代幣。該訴訟還指控基金會控制了一個收取代幣交易費用的錢包，最終獲利約 300 萬美元。

overHere has blamed Schultz, who uses the moniker Doc Hollywood, claiming in a tweet that he “controlled all token decisions, fees, treasury” and that “Doc’s team vanished when things got hard.”

overHere 指責舒爾茨，他使用“Doc Hollywood”這個綽號，在一條推文中聲稱他“控制了所有像徵性的決定、費用、財務”，並且“當事情變得困難時，Doc 的團隊就消失了」。

The Independent has contacted Schultz for comment.
