‘Hawk Tuah Girl’ Hailey Welch Claims Sec, The FBI cleaned her for Hawk Memecoin Disaster
Haliey Welch, better known as “Hawk Tuah Girl,” has now moved away from himself from the failed Hawk Memecoin last December-despite calling it a fully compliant, fan-focused token he boasts to launch.
In a New episode In his conversation with Tuah Podcast, Welch claimed that the FBI asked him and gave his phone to the SEC, but eventually “cleaned up” the wrongdoing.
“They went to my phone, so they cleaned me up. I was good at going,” he said. “I hope we know what we know right now.” He also dodged direct responsibility, rather than framing himself as an accidental pawn: “I have nothing to hide.”
But Welch’s latest comments – saying he didn’t understand the crypto and felt “sick” that fans trust him – standing in sharp contrast to his original announcement in November 2024.
At that time, welch he said “Glad to be part of the meme culture” and “learned so much” while working with launch partners to survive the $ hawk.
The token, launched in Solana, hit a $ 491 million market cap before falling below $ 100 million in time. Welch’s team claimed that the project was legal and supported by a Cayman Foundation, and said his tokens would give more than three years.
Welch claims less user losses
He went to claim that while at first customer losses were estimated to be as high as $ 1.2 million, the true figure of loss stands at $ 180,000.
However, there are still 10,149 holders of token according to Solscan And many of those who do not sell so the losses have never been realized. The $ 180,000 figure does not include the holders.
The commentators in his podcast do not buy the story.
“He admitted that he didn’t know anything about it but decided to endorse it and uphold it?” A YouTube comment to read. “You must have never attached yourself to something you didn’t understand,” said another.
Hawk prices have dropped 99% since December peak, sitting at a small $ 104,000 market capitalization until Tuesday morning.
