Hawk Tuah girl still in hiding two months after controversy, so what’s happened to her?
She’s vanished off the face of the planet
It’s been over two months since all the controversy went down surrounding Haliey Welch aka Hawk Tuah girl and her cryptocurrency debacle, and since then she’s disappeared into thin air.
In case you need a quick refresher on exactly what happened that caused her to go into apparently hiding, here’s a quick recap on the whole thing.
Haliey announced she would be releasing her own cryptocurrency Bitcoin called $HAWK, telling Fortune that the choice wasn’t “just a cash grab” and instead something to change people’s perception of cryptocurrency.
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 roughly $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.”

Due to how quickly the Hawk Tuah Bitcoin plummeted in value, some investors claimed Haliey Welch carried out a rug pull, which involves the creator of said cryptocurrency selling their stock once the value peaks, leading the price to crash and leaving everyone else out of pocket.
Some who invested in the coin even claimed they filed complaints with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, and since rug pulls are illegal she could be facing serious charges.
However, Haliey denied any accusations of selling her stock, as well as insisting none of her team sold any of their tokens.

She released a statement saying: “Hawkanomics: 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 fees in the start of launch on @MeteoraAG. Fees have now been dropped.”

That statement was the last thing she’s posted for over two months, with her last Instagram post being on the 20th of December.
Her last podcast episode was slightly ironically titled How To Avoid Getting Cancelled and was posted on the 3rd of December. She previously posted a new podcast episode every week, but it’s been dormant for almost nine weeks.
There’s a possibility she might be attending an event today t a bar in Texas with ex porn star, Alexis Texas, but based on the quality of the promotional poster it can’t be verified it’s even real. At this point, I genuinely don’t think we’re ever going to see Hailey Welch aka Hawk Tuah ever again. She truly has hawked her last tuah.
