Fans of the Hawk Tuah girl, whose real name is Haliey Welch, have recently voiced concerns.
They noticed an alarming detail on her social media accounts, raising questions about her well-being.
Haliey Welch became famous earlier this year after her viral video, “hawk tuah spit on that thang.”
Following her rise to fame, she ventured into the cryptocurrency world, launching her own meme coin, $HAWK.
The Launch and sudden decline of $HAWK
Earlier this month, Haliey released her own cryptocurrency, $HAWK, to much fanfare.
Previously, she launched HAWK Coin on December 4. Immediately, HAWK Coin quickly soared in value, but soon plummeted, leaving many investors in the lurch.
The sudden downturn has sparked outrage, with some calling for legal action against the viral star.
HAWK coin initially reaching a market cap of $490 million. However, the excitement was short-lived.
Within just three hours, the coin saw a drastic 91% drop, with its value crashing to $41.7 million.
This sudden decline left many investors with significant losses, sparking frustration and anger from those who had bought in.

Those who invested in $HAWK ended up with virtually worthless coins.

Frustrated investors have now taken legal action. They filed a lawsuit on December 19, claiming Welch unlawfully promoted and sold the $HAWK token. They argue that the token was offered without proper registration, breaking the law.
