A cryptocurrency expert has explained the series of events leading up to Haliey Welch’s possible fall from grace.
Welch, 22, shot to fame after coining the phrase “Hawk Tuah” during a random street interview. She quickly became a celebrity, attracting all sorts of earnings and launching her own podcast.
It appears things have come crashing down as she’s being accused of scamming her fans out of their hard-earned money.
The “Hawk Tuah” Girl launched a Hawk Tuah coin (HAWK) this week, which hit a market cap of close to $500 million. However, it lost 95 percent of its value in short order, and investors who rushed in to buy took a massive hit.
Welch took to X to deny any wrongdoing after accusations started flying.
“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 wrote.

Social Media User Posts Thread Explaining Haliey Welch’s Supposed Misdeeds
A user going by the handle @AlexMasonCrypto has explained why the above is likely a lie, citing another account, @bubblemaps, which shows that 96 percent of the coin’s supply was controlled by the developers, who dumped them shortly after launch.
“According to @bubblemaps, 96% of the $HAWK supply was concentrated in a single cluster, meaning the developer controlled 96% of the tokens and dumped them, liquidating exactly 100% of the supply they held,” they wrote.
“This explains precisely why the token soared initially before crashing.”

It appears Haliey might have some serious questions to answer; then again, she might not.
In any case, fans have begun filing official complaints, while a law firm has offered its services to anyone affected by the alleged pump-and-dump.
REPORT: Jeff Bezos Emerges As The New Favorite To Purchase One Of The NFL’s Most Valuable Franchises

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.
