Memecoin HAWK 與網路名人「Hawk Tuah Girl」Haliey Welch 掛鉤，因涉嫌違反證券法而被投資者起訴

memecoin HAWK 背後的團隊與網路名人 Haliey「Hawk Tuah Girl」Welch 相關，因涉嫌違反證券法而被一群投資者起訴。

A group of investors have filed a lawsuit against the team behind the memecoin HAWK, which is linked to internet personality Haliey “Hawk Tuah Girl” Welch. The lawsuit, filed in a District Court of New York last week, alleges that the memecoin HAWK, which gained popularity due to its association with Welch, acted as an unregistered security and caused substantial financial damage to cryptocurrency investors.

一群投資者對 memecoin HAWK 背後的團隊提起訴訟，該團隊與網路名人 Haliey「Hawk Tuah Girl」Welch 有關。該訴訟於上周向紐約地方法院提起，指控因與韋爾奇的關聯而廣受歡迎的模因幣 HAWK 充當未註冊的證券，給加密貨幣投資者造成了巨大的經濟損失。

The Block reports that the lawsuit was filed by twelve plaintiffs who collectively lost over $151,000 investing in HAWK. The plaintiffs claim that the token exhibited all the characteristics of an unregistered security under established legal precedent and are seeking a jury trial.

根據 The Block 報導，該訴訟由 12 名原告提起，他們總共損失了超過 151,000 美元的 HAWK 投資損失。原告聲稱，該代幣展現了既定法律先例下未註冊證券的所有特徵，並正在尋求陪審團審判。

According to the court documents, HAWK behaved as an unregistered security by drawing in first-time cryptocurrency investors who subsequently experienced significant losses following the token’s decline in value. The plaintiffs argue that a common enterprise existed with the token due to the pooling of funds and the token’s success being tied to the collective efforts of Welch and her project team.

根據法庭文件，HAWK 表現得像一種未註冊的證券，吸引了首次加密貨幣投資者，這些投資者隨後在代幣價值下跌後遭受了重大損失。原告辯稱，由於資金池和代幣的成功與韋爾奇和她的專案團隊的集體努力聯繫在一起，代幣存在一個共同企業。

The complaint also states that marketing efforts surrounding HAWK provided investors with a reasonable expectation of profits, and the token's success relied heavily on the efforts of Welch and her team.

訴狀還指出，圍繞 HAWK 的營銷工作為投資者提供了合理的利潤預期，而該代幣的成功在很大程度上依賴於韋爾奇和她的團隊的努力。

“Despite these clear indications of its status as a security, the $HAWK Token was not registered by Defendants,” the complaint asserts. Additionally, the plaintiffs claim that a wallet controlled by the Tuah Foundation, an entity associated with the project, collected $3 million from token transaction fees.

訴狀稱：“儘管有這些明確的跡象表明其作為證券的地位，但被告並未註冊 $HAWK 代幣。”此外，原告聲稱，與該項目相關的實體 Tuah 基金會控制的錢包從代幣交易費中收取了 300 萬美元。

Welch, also known as “Hawk Tuah Girl,” gained viral popularity in June 2024 for her response in a street interview, which included the phrase “hawk tuah.” The web3 launchpad platform OverHere facilitated the launch of HAWK on the Solana blockchain on December 4. The token experienced a surge in value, reaching a market capitalization of approximately $400 million before plummeting by 90 percent.

韋爾奇也被稱為“Hawk Tuah Girl”，她在 2024 年 6 月因在街頭採訪中的回應而走紅，其中包括“hawk tuah”一詞。 web3 啟動板平台 OverHere 於 12 月 4 日推動了 HAWK 在 Solana 區塊鏈上的發布。

Welch disappeared from social media following the massive drop in the memecoin's price, only to resurface when the lawsuit was filed to say that she is taking the situation “extremely seriously.”

在模因幣價格大幅下跌後，韋爾奇從社交媒體上消失了，直到提起訴訟時才重新出現，並表示她「非常認真地對待這一情況」。
