As an analyst with over two decades of experience in the financial industry, I have seen my fair share of market manipulations and fraudulent activities. The case of the Hawk Tuah token is one that raises serious concerns about the ethics and transparency within the crypto space.
As a crypto investor, I found myself among those who have taken legal action against the creators of the Hawk Tuah token following the dramatic plunge of the memecoin, the $HAWK token, shortly after its launch. Launched on December 4, 2024, this memecoin started with an impressive market cap of $490 million, but within a day, it had plummeted to a mere $60 million, resulting in substantial financial losses for early investors like myself.
On December 19, 2024, a lawsuit was initiated by Burwick Law in a federal court, claiming that the defendants falsely advertised and sold an unregistered cryptocurrency. The suit also involves several individuals and entities associated with the controversial project, such as Tuah The Moon Foundation, OverHere Ltd., and key figures Clinton So and Alex Larson Schultz.
The Plaintiffs claim that the Defendants aggressively marketed their product, leveraging Hailey Welch’s popularity on social media to create a sudden high demand, which inflated the coin’s value rapidly. However, this surge was followed by a sharp and swift drop, leaving many investors with losses.
According to the court records, the accused individuals advertised the $HAWK token across various social media platforms, while Welch operated a podcast called “Talk Tuah.” This podcast brought in well-known personalities, including Mark Cuban, as guests.
As reported by attorneys for the investors, these promotions led new cryptocurrency enthusiasts astray due to Welch’s notoriety. Many investors who trusted in the proclaimed potential for growth experienced significant financial setbacks when the value abruptly plummeted.
In a widely-shared interview, Welch got the nickname “Hawk Tuah Girl” following her remark “hawk tuah.” Leveraging this newfound popularity, she launched her merchandise line and started podcasts. However, her involvement with the $HAWK token project has stirred controversy among some individuals.
Despite the setback, Welch remained committed to the project. In an interview with Fortune on December 4, 2024, she expressed that the memecoin wasn’t merely about making money. Instead, she highlighted it as a means for her to engage with her fan base.
