从病毒式名声到加密货币恶名：哈莉·韦尔奇 (Haliey Welch) 的 HAWK Meme 硬币引发争议

由社交媒体影响者哈莉·韦尔奇 (Haliey Welch) 牵头推出的 HAWK meme 代币引发了争议，有报道称，她的加密货币团队在混乱的推出过程中获利 259 万英镑（330 万美元）。

Social media influencer Haliey Welch, known for her viral relationship advice on TikTok, has become embroiled in controversy over the launch of the HAWK meme coin.

社交媒体影响者哈莉·韦尔奇 (Haliey Welch) 因在 TikTok 上提出的病毒式恋爱建议而闻名，她因 HAWK 模因币的推出而卷入争议。

According to reports, Welch's crypto team profited £2.59 million ($3.3 million) during the chaotic rollout, which saw the token's value crash by 95% shortly after launch.

据报道，韦尔奇的加密货币团队在混乱的推出过程中获利 259 万英镑（330 万美元），该代币的价值在推出后不久就暴跌了 95%。

The incident has sparked outrage among investors, leading to complaints filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

该事件引发了投资者的愤怒，并导致向美国证券交易委员会（SEC）提出投诉。

Welch, 22, now faces the possibility of lawsuits for her involvement in what some have labelled a "rug pull" scheme.

22 岁的韦尔奇现在面临着因参与一些人所说的“拉扯”计划而受到诉讼的可能性。

After her TikTok video on relationship advice went viral earlier this year, Welch quickly amassed over 2.5 million followers.

今年早些时候，韦尔奇关于恋爱建议的 TikTok 视频在网上疯传，之后她迅速积累了超过 250 万粉丝。

Leveraging her newfound popularity, she ventured into the world of cryptocurrency, pitching the HAWK token as a community reward for her fan base.

利用她新获得的人气，她冒险进入了加密货币世界，将 HAWK 代币作为对她的粉丝群的社区奖励。

The token, launched on the Solana blockchain, was touted as an opportunity for fans to participate in giveaways tied to Welch's podcasts and merchandise.

该代币在 Solana 区块链上推出，被誉为粉丝参与与韦尔奇播客和商品相关的赠品的机会。

However, the coin's value plummeted shortly after peaking at a £392 million ($500 million) market cap, leaving many fans and investors with substantial losses.

然而，该币的市值在达到 3.92 亿英镑（5 亿美元）的峰值后不久就暴跌，给许多粉丝和投资者带来了巨大损失。

Blockchain data from Bubblemaps reveals that nearly 90% of the token supply was manipulated by insiders or snipers who purchased large amounts during the launch.

Bubblemaps 的区块链数据显示，近 90% 的代币供应量是由内部人士或狙击手操纵的，他们在发布期间大量购买了代币。

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Welch claimed that her team had attempted to prevent snipers, but the damage was already done.

在 X（以前称为 Twitter）上的一篇帖子中，韦尔奇声称她的团队曾试图阻止狙击手，但损害已经造成。

"We tried our best to stop snipers. They fucked us over. I'm sorry. I tried," she wrote.

“我们尽力阻止狙击手。他们把我们搞砸了。我很抱歉。我尽力了，”她写道。

However, Bubblemaps CEO Nicolas Vaiman alleges that the HAWK team orchestrated a "one-day pump and dump," ultimately pocketing $3.3 million in profits.

然而，Bubblemaps 首席执行官尼古拉斯·瓦伊曼 (Nicolas Vaiman) 声称，HAWK 团队精心策划了一次“一日拉高和抛售”，最终将 330 万美元的利润收入囊中。

The data shows that 17% of the token supply was allocated to 285 early investors, many of whom sold their holdings immediately, destabilising the coin's price.

数据显示，17% 的代币供应量分配给了 285 名早期投资者，其中许多人立即出售了所持代币，从而破坏了代币价格的稳定。

Furthermore, only 3% of the tokens were made available to the public through the Meteora exchange, despite Welch's claims that 20% would be distributed to fans as giveaways.

此外，尽管韦尔奇声称 20% 的代币将作为赠品分发给粉丝，但只有 3% 的代币通过 Meteora 交易所向公众开放。

Additionally, the team is said to have collected an estimated £1.57 million ($2 million) in fees from the exchange.

此外，据说该团队还从交易所收取了约 157 万英镑（200 万美元）的费用。

During a heated audio event on X Spaces, journalist Stephen Findeisen, known as "Coffeezilla," confronted Welch's team over the launch.

在 X Spaces 上一场激烈的音频活动中，被称为“Coffeezilla”的记者史蒂芬·芬德森 (Stephen Findeisen) 就此次发布与韦尔奇的团队进行了对峙。

"This is one of the most miserable, horrible launches I've ever seen," Findeisen said. "You guys are making so much money off of this. It's insider trading."

“这是我见过的最悲惨、最可怕的发射之一，”芬德森说。 “你们靠这个赚了很多钱。这是内幕交易。”

These allegations were denied by Alexander Larson Shultz, a team member nicknamed "Doc Hollywood" who has ties to Canadian entertainer Howie Mandel.

这些指控被绰号“好莱坞医生”的团队成员亚历山大·拉尔森·舒尔茨否认，他与加拿大艺人豪伊·曼德尔有联系。

"We had no control over the price of the token," Shultz said. "We did not manipulate the token. We did not backdoor ourselves any tokens."

“我们无法控制代币的价格，”舒尔茨说。 “我们没有操纵代币。我们没有给自己留任何代币后门。”

As the controversy deepens, Welch may face legal repercussions for her actions. According to Scott Armstrong, a former US Department of Justice prosecutor, Welch could be subject to civil or criminal investigations for misleading her followers.

随着争议的加深，韦尔奇可能会因其行为而面临法律后果。美国司法部前检察官斯科特·阿姆斯特朗表示，韦尔奇可能会因误导追随者而受到民事或刑事调查。

"The optics are obviously terrible and have the hallmarks of a rug pull," Armstrong said.

“光学器件显然很糟糕，并且具有地毯拉力的特征，”阿姆斯特朗说。

Welch's lawyer, Christian Barker, has stated that she was paid £98,135 ($125,000) to promote the coin, alongside a 50% share of the net proceeds after expenses.

韦尔奇的律师克里斯蒂安·巴克 (Christian Barker) 表示，她因推广该硬币而获得了 98,135 英镑（125,000 美元）的报酬，以及扣除费用后净收益的 50%。

While Welch has claimed ignorance of crypto regulations, such as those that led to legal action against Kim Kardashian for promoting unregistered tokens, many believe she was used as a marketing tool by experienced crypto insiders.

尽管韦尔奇声称对加密货币法规一无所知，例如那些导致金·卡戴珊因推广未注册代币而受到法律诉讼的法规，但许多人认为她被经验丰富的加密货币内部人士用作营销工具。

Disgruntled fans have filed complaints with the SEC, accusing Welch and her team of fraudulent practices.

心怀不满的粉丝向美国证券交易委员会提出投诉，指控韦尔奇和她的团队存在欺诈行为。

Meanwhile, blockchain analysis suggests that the token launch involved coordinated efforts to maximise insider profits at the expense of public investors.

与此同时，区块链分析表明，代币的发行涉及协调努力，以牺牲公共投资者的利益来最大化内部利润。

The HAWK debacle highlights the risks associated with speculative meme coins. With cryptocurrencies gaining mainstream attention from figures like Donald Trump and Elon Musk, experts warn that scams involving unregulated tokens are likely to increase.

HAWK 的崩溃凸显了与投机性模因币相关的风险。随着加密货币受到唐纳德·特朗普和埃隆·马斯克等人物的主流关注，专家警告说，涉及不受监管的代币的诈骗可能会增加。

Investors are advised to steer clear of volatile, low-cost tokens promising quick returns. Instead, experts recommend focusing on more established cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, which offer stability and can be accessed through regulated exchange-traded funds.

建议投资者避开波动性大、成本低、回报快的代币。相反，专家建议关注比特币和以太坊等更成熟的加密货币，它们提供稳定性并且可以通过受监管的交易所交易基金获得。
