Haliey Welch is back in the news, but not for something she wants to be.
Welch, the viral influencer better known as the “Hawk Tuah Girl,” is facing backlash and threats of legal action after her crypto meme HAWK collapsed just hours after it was launched.
Welch has been raking in cash since rising to fame over the summer after she stated she spits on man’s penis during a raunchy interview on the streets of Nashville.
She tried to capitalize on her success further by launching the Solano-based meme coin to “connect with her fans,” but things went entirely wrong.
HAWK rocketed to an all-time high price of $0.0000428, taking it to a market cap of $500 million, and that happened within minutes.
HAWK took just about 24 hours to fall back to Earth. It crashed 88% to $60 million.
Haliey Welch is now being accused of orchestrating a ‘pump and dump’ scheme, and now things have gotten even worse for her.
A law firm recently posted on X encouraging anybody who lost money to consider legal action against Welch.
“If you lost money on $HAWK, contact our firm to learn about your legal rights. Our firm represents thousands of NFT and token investors in securities matters. This is attorney advertising.”

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has emerged as the new front-runner to purchase one of the NFL’s most valuable franchises.
You may recall that Jeff Bezos had interest in purchasing the Washington Commanders from Dan Snyder, but they wound up selling the franchise to the Josh Harris-led group for $6.05 billion.
There have also been rumors about Bezos potentially buying the Seattle Seahawks. Since Paul Allen’s passing in 2018, the team has been run by his sister, Jody Allen.
Speculation is growing about New York Jets owner Woody Johnson potentially selling the team as the Jets finish out another disastrous season. The Jets entered 2024 with Super Bowl expectations, but Aaron Rodgers and company have been a giant disappointment with a 3-8 record.
According to Bovada, Jeff Bezos is now the betting favorite to purchase the Jets from Johnson and take over as their next owner. Johnson has owned the football organization since 2000.
