It’s all come to an abrupt stop this month however, after Haliey Welch launched her Hawk cryptocurrency, which has lead Tuah vanishing off the face of the earth after the value made a massive plummet in value. Haliey Welch fans have lost a lot of money, with many calling for answers after Hawk Tuah girl has been missing and not heard from since she said she was going to sleep on a live stream.

So, early this month Haliey Welch released the HAWK cryptocurrency which at first had a huge value, but after people invested it plummeted drastically and people lost out on a lot of money.

The coin was launched on Wednesday at a price of $0.005492, and quickly rose over 900 per cent in value before crashing by 91 per cent. The change meant its value went from roughy $490 million all the way down to $41 million, leaving a lot of buyers with a serious loss in profits.

One buyer angrily tweeted at Haliey: “I am a huge fan of Hawk Tuah but you took my life savings. I purchased your coin $Hawk that you were so excited about with my life savings and children’s college education fund as well.”

Some who invested in the coin have even claimed they have filed complaints with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, and since rug pulls are illegal she could be facing serious charges.

Now, Haliey Welch is being investigated to see if there’s room for those who lost money on her meme coin to file lawsuits. Cryptocurrency experts call this situation an apparent “rug pull”, where what’s known as snipers bag a huge profit. Basically, they “buy the asset where it’s cheaper and instantly sell it where it’s more expensive, profiting from the price gap”, as explained by CoinMarketCap.

When Haliey responded to the controversy she insisted that her team”‘tried to stop snipers as best we could through high fee’s in the start of launch on @MeteoraAG”.

Now, overHere who are the platform that host the HAWK currency have posted a statement on Twitter explaining their side. “We Only Built Airdrop Tech for Web2 Fans, for Free,” its statement began. “We saw $HAWK as the perfect use case for our startup’s idea: to bring airdrops to web2. Hailey Welch—a literal meme—launching a meme coin felt like synchronicity.

“Our goal was simple: bring Web2 fans into Web3 seamlessly. A way to bring Web2 into crypto through culture, not just speculation. First of its kind. That’s it. For free.”

“We believed in that vision so much that pushed harder and harder, perhaps through rose-tinted glasses and naivety about others’ intentions, even as the project began to unravel.”

Hawk Tuah Girl Haliey Welch remains missing in action since the backlash and drama, and has failed to upload any episode of her podcast this week.
