被稱為“Hawk Tuah 女孩”的網路明星 Haliey Welch 表示，她正在與代表受最近加密 Meme 幣 $HAWK 崩盤影響的人們的律師“全面合作”

本月早些時候，韋爾奇幫助推出了這種加密貨幣，該加密貨幣以她的熱門口號命名。數位貨幣推出後數小時內，其價格暴跌，這位 22 歲的網紅面臨詐騙指控。

Haliey Welch, the internet star known for her viral catchphrase "Hawk Tuah," is now facing a class-action lawsuit over her involvement in the recent crash of crypto meme coin $HAWK.

以她的病毒流行語“Hawk Tuah”而聞名的網絡明星哈莉·韋爾奇 (Haliey Welch) 現在正面臨集體訴訟，因為她參與了最近的加密模因硬幣 $HAWK 的崩盤。

Welch helped launch the cryptocurrency, which is named after her catchphrase, earlier this month. Within hours after the digital coin became available, its price plummeted and the 22-year-old influencer faced accusations that it was a scam. At the time, Welch’s team blamed “snipers” — bots programmed to buy tokens immediately upon launch and sell when prices spike — for causing the market cap fluctuation.

本月早些時候，韋爾奇幫助推出了這種加密貨幣，該加密貨幣以她的口號命名。數位貨幣上市後數小時內，其價格暴跌，這位 22 歲的網紅面臨詐騙指控。當時，韋爾奇的團隊將市值波動歸咎於「狙擊手」——被編程為在發行後立即購買代幣並在價格飆升時出售的機器人。

Investors of the $HAWK coin filed a lawsuit on Thursday against the coin’s creators, accusing the company overHere Ltd., its founder, Clinton So, Tuah The Moon Foundation and social media influencer Alex Larson Schultz of unlawfully promoting and selling cryptocurrency that they say was never properly registered with the SEC.

$HAWK 代幣的投資者週四對該代幣的創造者提起訴訟，指控該公司overHere Ltd.、其創始人Clinton So、Tuah The Moon 基金會和社交媒體影響者Alex Larson Schultz 非法推廣和銷售他們所說的加密貨幣。

A copy of the lawsuit, which was obtained by NBC News, shows that it was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. Welch is not listed as a defendant in the suit.

NBC新聞獲得的訴訟副本顯示，該訴訟是向美國紐約東區地方法院提起的。韋爾奇沒有被列為訴訟中的被告。

Welch addressed the lawsuit in a post on X on Friday, where she urged those who “experienced losses related to this” to contact the law firm Burwick PLLC.

韋爾奇週五在 X 上的一篇貼文中談到了這起訴訟，她敦促那些「經歷與此相關的損失」的人聯繫 Burwick PLLC 律師事務所。

“I take this situation extremely seriously and want to address my fans, the investors who have been affected, and the broader community,” she wrote. “I am fully cooperating with and am committed to assisting the legal team representing the individuals impacted, as well as to help uncover the truth, hold the responsible parties accountable, and resolve this matter.”

她寫道：“我非常嚴肅地對待這一情況，並想向我的粉絲、受到影響的投資者以及更廣泛的社區發表講話。” “我將全力配合並致力於協助代表受影響個人的法律團隊，並幫助揭露真相、追究責任方責任並解決此事。”

A spokesperson for Welch did not immediately respond to a request for additional comment on Friday.

韋爾奇的發言人週五沒有立即回應進一步置評的請求。

According to a news release from Burwick PLLC, which teamed up with Wolf Popper LLC on the case, $HAWK’s token market capitalization "surged" to $491 million after launching on Dec. 4. However, the news release adds that "its meteoric rise was short-lived, as the $HAWK token's value plummeted by over 90% within hours, dropping below $100 million."

根據與Wolf Popper LLC 合作處理此案的Burwick PLLC 的新聞稿，$HAWK 的代幣市值在12 月4 日推出後“飆升”至4.91 億美元。是由於好景不長，$HAWK 代幣的價值在數小時內暴跌超過 90%，跌破 1 億美元。

“This extreme volatility left many investors, particularly first-time cryptocurrency investors drawn in by Haliey Welch’s involvement, facing significant financial losses,” the two firms said in the joint statement on Friday.

兩家公司在周五的聯合聲明中表示：“這種極端波動使許多投資者，尤其是因哈莉·韋爾奇的參與而吸引的首次加密貨幣投資者面臨重大財務損失。”

Wolf Popper LLP and Burwick Law said they are “seeking to recover on behalf of the plaintiffs’ and the class’s purchases of $HAWK tokens.”

Wolf Popper LLP 和 Burwick Law 表示，他們「正在尋求代表原告和集體購買 $HAWK 代幣進行追償」。

Welch's involvement in the crypto space comes after months of her building her brand. Since June, when her interview went viral, she has cashed in on her success with Hawk Tuah-themed merch, her podcast “Talk Tuah” and the launch of her AI dating assistant app Pookie Tools.

韋爾奇在建立自己的品牌幾個月後才涉足加密貨幣領域。自 6 月她的採訪瘋傳以來，她憑藉 Hawk Tuah 主題商品、播客「Talk Tuah」以及人工智慧約會助理應用程式 Pookie Tools 的推出，獲得了成功。

In the days leading up to the $HAWK's launch, she promoted it in several posts on X. In an interview with Fortune, she said she used to think of crypto as “just a scam” and an “easy way for you to lose money.” But after attending several cryptocurrency conferences, she said she began seeing it as a “good way to interact with fans.”

在$HAWK 推出之前的幾天裡，她在X 上的多個帖子中對其進行了宣傳。讓你賠錢的簡單方法」 」。但在參加了幾次加密貨幣會議後，她表示她開始將其視為「與粉絲互動的好方法」。

In a Dec. 4 post on X following the initial controversy, Welch said that she and the people behind the coin have not sold any of their holdings.

在最初的爭議發生後，韋爾奇在 12 月 4 日在 X 上發表的一篇文章中表示，她和該代幣背後的人尚未出售他們所持有的任何股份。

Memecoins are cryptocurrencies, such as DOGE (named after the iconic doge meme) and MOODENG (named after the viral baby pygmy hippo), that are inspired by internet memes. Their performance in the market can be volatile, largely depending on the hype generated by social media trends. But some memecoins have also courted controversy, and celebrities who have touted crypto coins without transparency about their financial incentives have faced scrutiny and legal action.

Memecoins 是受網路 meme 啟發的加密貨幣，例如 DOGE（以標誌性的 doge meme 命名）和 MOODENG（以病毒般的侏儒河馬寶寶命名）​​。他們在市場上的表現可能會波動，很大程度上取決於社群媒體趨勢所產生的炒作。但一些模因幣也引起了爭議，那些在不公開其經濟激勵措施的情況下吹捧加密貨幣的名人面臨審查和法律訴訟。

In a joint statement on X on Friday, Wolf Popper LLP and Burwick Law wrote, “Sadly, this is one of many memecoin cases where institutional greed has exploited celebrities and their influence to harm everyday people

在周五的 X 聯合聲明中，Wolf Popper LLP 和 Burwick Law 寫道：「可悲的是，這是該機構貪婪利用名人及其影響力傷害普通人的眾多模因幣案例之一。
