《Hawk Tuah》明星海莉·韦尔奇 (Hailey Welch) 的数百万美元模因币灾难在周四对失败的加密货币背后的可疑组织提出了严厉的诉讼后变得越来越严重

这种代币被称为“$HAWK 代币”，其市值迅速升至 4.9 亿美元，但最终在 12 月 4 日推出后的几个小时内下跌了 90% 以上。

Social media star Hailey Welch's memecoin disaster has gone from bad to worse after the group behind the failing cryptocurrency was hit with a damning lawsuit Thursday.

社交媒体明星海莉·韦尔奇（Hailey Welch）的模因币灾难每况愈下，因为这种失败的加密货币背后的组织周四遭到了一场严厉的诉讼。

The coin, quickly rose to a $490 million market cap, before ultimately tanking more than 90 percent within hours of its December 4 launch.

该代币的市值迅速升至 4.9 亿美元，但最终在 12 月 4 日发行后的几个小时内下跌了 90% 以上。

Now, the plaintiff's lawyers allege that a pre-sale for the coin had raised approximately $2.8 million, at a valuation of $16.69 million, ahead of the launch date, according to the lawsuit.

现在，根据诉讼，原告律师声称，在发行日期之前，该代币的预售已筹集了约 280 万美元，估值为 1669 万美元。

Investors are now seeking more than $150,000 in damages.

投资者目前正在寻求超过 15 万美元的损失赔偿。

The Thursday complaint also alleges that the day after the failed launch, Clinton So - who initially launched the coin - made the Tuah Foundation an off-shore entity and sold 17 percent of the tokens through the organization to a subset of people to skirt securities laws.

周四的投诉还称，在发行失败的第二天，最初发行该代币的克林顿·苏 (Clinton So) 将 Tuah 基金会设为离岸实体，并通过该组织向一小部分人出售了 17% 的代币，以规避证券法。

However, defendants continued marketing the remaining 83 percent of the tokens, making 'no serious attempt' to restrict purchasers outside of the US.

然而，被告继续销售剩余 83% 的代币，“没有认真尝试”限制美国境外的购买者。

'The project clearly was intended to take advantage of the American market,' the complaint said.

诉状称，该项目显然是为了利用美国市场。

By So 'linking the success of the social media influencer like Welch, he literally said that the Token holders would essentially be shareholders,' the investors said.

投资者表示，通过将韦尔奇等社交媒体影响者的成功联系起来，他字面意思是代币持有者本质上将是股东。

'Despite these clear indications of its status as a security, the $HAWK Token was not registered by defendants,' they added.

他们补充说，尽管有这些明确的迹象表明其作为证券的地位，但被告并未注册 $HAWK 代币。

'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 said in an email.

“对于我们参与 Hawk Tuah 代币项目的有限范围和程度，我们一直非常透明。 overHere 的发言人在一封电子邮件中表示，我们相信我们没有做错任何事。

'As for any litigation, we will let the process play out in court.'

“至于任何诉讼，我们都会在法庭上进行。”

Welch has since faced harsh backlash online as critics accuse the 22-year-old and her team of participating in the 'money-grab' scheme, which she later denied on X.

此后，韦尔奇在网上遭到强烈反对，批评者指责这位 22 岁的韦尔奇和她的团队参与了“抢钱”计划，但她后来在 X 上否认了这一说法。

'Copy and pasting: Hawkanomics: Team hasn't sold one token and not 1 KOL was given 1 free token We tried to stop snipers as best we could through high fee's in the start of launch on @MeteoraAG. Fee's have now been dropped,' she posted.

“复制并粘贴：Hawkanomics：团队尚未出售一枚代币，并且没有向 1 个 KOL 提供 1 个免费代币。在 @MeteoraAG 上发布之初，我们试图通过高额费用来尽最大努力阻止狙击手。现在费用已经取消，”她发帖说。

The failed memecoin was inspired by the internet celebrity who was launched into the spotlight earlier this year following a cheeky comment during a TikTok video that went viral.

这款失败的 memecoin 的灵感来自于今年早些时候在 TikTok 视频中发表的厚颜无耻的评论而走红的网络名人。

She has since made the most of her stardom as she launched a custom merchandise company and a hit podcast, 'Talk Tuah', which has featured comedians like Hannah Berner and Whitney Cummings, pop star JoJo Siwa, and entrepreneur Mark Cuban.

此后，她充分利用了自己的明星地位，创办了一家定制商品公司和热门播客“Talk Tuah”，其中包括汉娜·伯纳和惠特尼·卡明斯等喜剧演员、流行歌星乔乔·西瓦和企业家马克·库班。
