被称为“Hawk Tuah 女孩”的互联网明星 Haliey Welch 表示，她正在与代表受最近加密 Meme 币 $HAWK 崩盘影响的人们的律师“全面合作”

本月早些时候，韦尔奇帮助推出了这种加密货币，该加密货币以她的热门口号命名。数字货币推出后数小时内，其价格暴跌，这位 22 岁的网红面临着诈骗指控。

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.

以她的病毒流行语“Hawk Tuah”而闻名的网络明星哈莉·韦尔奇 (Haliey Welch) 现在正面临集体诉讼，因为她参与了最近的加密模因硬币 $HAWK 的崩盘。

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.

本月早些时候，韦尔奇帮助推出了这种加密货币，该加密货币以她的口号命名。数字货币上市后数小时内，其价格暴跌，这位 22 岁的网红面临着诈骗指控。当时，韦尔奇的团队将市值波动归咎于“狙击手”——被编程为在发行后立即购买代币并在价格飙升时出售的机器人。

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 代币的投资者周四对该代币的创造者提起诉讼，指控该公司 overHere Ltd.、其创始人 Clinton So、Tuah The Moon 基金会和社交媒体影响者 Alex Larson Schultz 非法推广和销售他们所说的加密货币。从未在 SEC 正确注册。

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新闻获得的诉讼副本显示，该诉讼是向美国纽约东区地方法院提起的。韦尔奇没有被列为诉讼中的被告。

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.

韦尔奇周五在 X 上的一篇帖子中谈到了这起诉讼，她敦促那些“经历过与此相关的损失”的人联系 Burwick PLLC 律师事务所。

“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.”

她写道：“我非常严肃地对待这一情况，并想向我的粉丝、受到影响的投资者以及更广泛的社区发表讲话。” “我将全力配合并致力于协助代表受影响个人的法律团队，并帮助揭露真相、追究责任方责任并解决此事。”

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

韦尔奇的发言人周五没有立即回应进一步置评的请求。

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."

根据与 Wolf Popper LLC 合作处理此案的 Burwick PLLC 的一份新闻稿，$HAWK 的代币市值在 12 月 4 日推出后“飙升”至 4.91 亿美元。不过，新闻稿补充道，“其迅速上涨是由于好景不长，$HAWK 代币的价值在数小时内暴跌超过 90%，跌破 1 亿美元。”

“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.

两家公司在周五的联合声明中表示：“这种极端波动使许多投资者，尤其是因哈莉·韦尔奇的参与而吸引的首次加密货币投资者面临重大财务损失。”

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，他们“正在寻求代表原告和集体购买 $HAWK 代币进行追偿”。

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.

韦尔奇在建立自己的品牌几个月后才涉足加密货币领域。自 6 月她的采访疯传以来，她凭借 Hawk Tuah 主题商品、播客“Talk Tuah”以及人工智能约会助手应用程序 Pookie Tools 的推出，获得了成功。

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 推出之前的几天里，她在 X 上的多个帖子中对其进行了宣传。在接受《财富》杂志采访时，她表示她曾经认为加密货币“只是一个骗局”和“一种让你赔钱的简单方法” ”。但在参加了几次加密货币会议后，她表示她开始将其视为“与粉丝互动的好方法”。

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.

在最初的争议发生后，韦尔奇在 12 月 4 日在 X 上发表的一篇文章中表示，她和该代币背后的人尚未出售他们所持的任何股份。

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 是受互联网 meme 启发的加密货币，例如 DOGE（以标志性的 doge meme 命名）和 MOODENG（以病毒般的侏儒河马宝宝命名）。他们在市场上的表现可能会波动，很大程度上取决于社交媒体趋势所产生的炒作。但一些模因币也引起了争议，那些在不公开其经济激励措施的情况下吹捧加密货币的名人面临着审查和法律诉讼。

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 联合声明中，Wolf Popper LLP 和 Burwick Law 写道：“可悲的是，这是机构贪婪利用名人及其影响力伤害普通人的众多模因币案例之一。
