随着投资者对 Hailey Welch 及其合伙人提起诉讼，“Hawk Tuah Girl”争议转向法律

该代币在 12 月 4 日发布之日价值暴跌超过 95%，一直是非法促销和销售行为指控的焦点。

Investors in the now-collapsed memecoin $HAWK have filed a lawsuit against several individuals and entities linked to the crypto project in a Florida federal court.

现已崩溃的 memecoin $HAWK 的投资者已向佛罗里达州联邦法院对与该加密项目相关的数名个人和实体提起诉讼。

The defendants include TikTok star Hailey Welch (“Hawk Tuah Girl”), who promoted the token, and several crypto firms.

被告包括推广该代币的 TikTok 明星 Hailey Welch（“Hawk Tuah Girl”）和几家加密公司。

The lawsuit, filed on Monday, alleges that the defendants violated securities laws by offering and selling the token to the public without registering it with the SEC.

该诉讼于周一提起，指控被告在未向 SEC 注册的情况下向公众发行和出售该代币，违反了证券法。

The complaint further alleges that the defendants engaged in fraud by making false and misleading statements about the token and its potential value.

起诉书进一步指控被告通过对代币及其潜在价值做出虚假和误导性陈述来实施欺诈。

According to the filing, Welch and her partners engaged in aggressive promotional efforts that initially drove up the token's market value, only for it to plummet shortly after launch.

根据文件，韦尔奇和她的合作伙伴进行了积极的促销活动，最初推高了代币的市场价值，但在推出后不久就暴跌。

The filing states that the defendants "created a speculative frenzy that caused the Token's market value to spike shortly after launch, reaching a significant market capitalization."

文件称，被告“制造了投机狂潮，导致代币的市场价值在推出后不久飙升，达到了可观的市值”。

It adds that the defendants "leveraged Welch's celebrity status and connections to enhance the Token's credibility and appeal, including discussing the $HAWK project during Welch's podcasts featuring notable guests."

它还补充说，被告“利用韦尔奇的名人地位和关系来提高代币的可信度和吸引力，包括在韦尔奇邀请知名嘉宾主持的播客中讨论 $HAWK 项目。”

The lawsuit also names several other defendants, including the Tuah The Moon Foundation, which is alleged to have managed the proceeds from the token sale.

该诉讼还提到了其他几名被告，其中包括 Tuah The Moon 基金会，据称该基金会管理着代币销售的收益。

The coin's creator, OverHere Ltd, and its executive, Clinton So, are also named as defendants.

该币的创造者 OverHere Ltd 及其高管 Clinton So 也被列为被告。

Moreover, Alex Larson Schultz, a Los Angeles-based promoter of the memecoin, is named as a key defendant in the case.

此外，洛杉矶模因币推广者亚历克斯·拉尔森·舒尔茨 (Alex Larson Schultz) 被列为该案的主要被告。

The rapid decline of the token, which lost 95% of its value from a peak market capitalization of $490 million, has sparked allegations of a rug pull and brought the legitimacy of the project under close examination.

该代币的价值从 4.9 亿美元的峰值市值下跌了 95%，其迅速下跌引发了有关拉扯的指控，并使该项目的合法性受到密切关注。

Upon discovering wallets linked to the project that together held 96% of the token supply, with some beginning to sell off tokens, investors expressed outrage.

当发现与该项目相关的钱包总共持有 96% 的代币供应量，其中一些钱包开始出售代币时，投资者表达了愤怒。

However, Welch defended the project, stating that it was "not just a cash grab." Her manager, Jonnie Forster, also maintained that they had planned to give away free tokens to fans as a way to engage with them, rather than encouraging direct purchases.

然而，韦尔奇为该项目辩护，称这“不仅仅是抢钱”。她的经理乔尼·福斯特也坚称，他们计划向粉丝赠送免费代币，作为与他们互动的一种方式，而不是鼓励直接购买。

Despite their efforts, the token's collapse has left many questioning the true intentions behind the project.

尽管他们做出了努力，但代币的崩溃还是让许多人质疑该项目背后的真实意图。

As the legal battle unfolds, the defendants, including Welch, will now have a chance to respond to the allegations.

随着法律战的展开，包括韦尔奇在内的被告现在将有机会对指控作出回应。

A motion for summary judgment is likely to follow, and if denied, the case will proceed to a pretrial phase.

随后可能会提出简易判决动议，如果被拒绝，案件将进入预审阶段。

The plaintiffs have requested a jury trial, which, if granted, would involve a jury determining damages in the event the lawsuit is successful.

原告已请求陪审团审判，如果获得批准，陪审团将在诉讼成功的情况下确定损害赔偿金。

The case highlights the risks involved in celebrity-endorsed cryptocurrency projects and raises broader concerns about transparency and accountability in the crypto space.

该案件凸显了名人认可的加密货币项目所涉及的风险，并引发了人们对加密货币领域透明度和问责制的更广泛担忧。
