Haliey Welch has been doing alright for herself since shooting to stardom, without actually wanting to find\u00a0fame<\/a>, after she gave an NSFW comment to the question ‘what makes a guy go crazy in bed’ – her reply earned the influencer her nickname.<\/p>\n She pretended to spit saying ‘hawk tuah spit on that thang’, it went viral, and she’s a huge name now – having garnered almost three million\u00a0Instagram<\/a>\u00a0followers and released her own podcast.<\/p>\n She’s brought out her own clothes line with the words ‘Hawk Tuah’ brandished on caps and other items of clothing, but now, she’s tested the\u00a0cryptocurrency<\/a>\u00a0industry and debuted her own meme coin called $HAWK.<\/p>\n The coin’s value completely tanked within 20 minutes of its launch – plummeting from as much as $490 million to just $41 million, leaving fans out of pocket.<\/p>\n It has left investors claiming she carried out a rug pull, which is where creators of cryptocurrency sell off their stock leading to prices crashing and those who put\u00a0money<\/a>\u00a0into it with coins worth next to nothing.<\/p>\n Haliey Welch, otherwise known as the ‘Hawk Tuah Girl’, has defended her team’s cryptocurrency (Instagram\/hay_welch)<\/cite><\/div>\n However, Welch has denied these accusations and has defended hers and her ‘teams’ actions during a live stream on\u00a0Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n “Hawkanomics: Team hasn\u2019t sold one token and not 1 KOL was given 1 free token,” she tweeted in a copy and pasted message.<\/p>\n “We tried to stop snipers as best we could through high fee\u2019s in the start of launch on @MeteoraAG. Fee\u2019s have now been dropped.”<\/p>\n But readers added their own context to the tweet claiming her team had sold.<\/p>\n It read: “The “team” and insiders have actually been selling their token since launch.<\/p>\n “A majority have never purchased anything and have only sold the tokens they were given.<\/p>\n “Haliey is lying and will likely have to “talk tuah” judge about this.”<\/p>\n Haliey Welch has received a lot of backlash in the wake of HAWK coin crashing (@HalieyWelchX\/Twitter)<\/cite><\/div>\n During the live stream\u00a0YouTube<\/a>\u00a0investigator Stephen ‘Coffeezilla’ joined and gave the viral sensation a bit of a grilling.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cThis is one of the most miserable, horrible launches I\u2019ve ever seen. I\u2019ve been tracing it on the chain for a while. You guys generated over a million dollars in fees, while your fans got rug pulled. There were snipers, but there was also insider trading directly linked to y\u2019all\u2019s creator accounts.\u201d<\/p>\n One person took to\u00a0Twitter<\/a>\u00a0to claim that they’d bought $35,000 worth of coin, but it to be worth just $2,000 ten minutes later.<\/p>\n “I am a huge fan of Hawk Tuah but you took my life savings,” they penned to Haliey on the\u00a0social media<\/a>\u00a0platform. “I purchased your coin $Hawk that you were so excited about with my life savings and children\u2019s college\u00a0education<\/a>\u00a0fund as well.<\/p>\n “You didn\u2019t mention that you were going to buy 97% of the supply and sell it almost immediately to make a large profit.”<\/p>\n Another person said: “So… it turns out the Hawk Tauh crypto meme coin was not a good investment.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The viral sensation has been accused of ‘pulling the rug’ under her investors as her…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14945","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"aioseo_notices":[],"views":597,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/used82.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14945","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/used82.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/used82.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/used82.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/used82.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=14945"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/used82.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14945\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/used82.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=14945"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/used82.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=14945"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/used82.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=14945"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Haliey](\"https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&quality=70&width=3840&fit=contain&gravity=auto&url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/blt4cc42c7e058df5a5\/668bbb639232e2cefe2fc81d\/Screenshot_2024-07-08_at_11.09.23.png\")
