Haliey Welch, better known as the “Hawk Tuah Girl,” said the Federal Bureau of Investigation who briefly tried him after his “Memecoin Disaster” – the failed launch of a token in his image he was promoting.
Welch Says In a stage of May 21 of his “Talk Tuah” podcast shown by the FBI at his grandmother’s house looking to talk to him at Hawk Tuah (Hawk) Crypto token, which many Crypto commentators call an exit scam.
“After the launch of the coin, the feds came to Granny’s house and knocked on his door, and he called me, with a heart attack, saying: ‘The FBI is here after you, what have you done?’
Welch said he gave his phone to the FBI and met with agents “inquiring me, asking me questions and everything related to crypto.”
“They cleaned me, I was good to go,” Welch said.
Welch was viral for his response about an oral sex technique in a Vox Pop interview posted on YouTube in June.
Hawk Memecoin, based on its viral catchphrase, launched in early December and almost immediately disappeared 90% of its value And blockchain analytics firm Bubblemaps’ allegedly wallets and sniper bought and discarded the massive volume of the launch token.
Welch said in his podcast that the Securities and Exchange Commission also requested his phone, and he sent it “for two or three days” before he could be cleared.
Welch’s lawyer James Sallah said TMZ in March whose SEC has “closed the investigation without making any findings against, or looking for any financial penalties, Haloy.”
“I trusted with the wrong people”
Welch admitted Know a little about crypto Before Hawk Memecoin and said “he trusted the wrong people” for the launch.
He claimed a company, which he said he could not name the legal factors, was in full control of his X account, posting videos of his memecoin advocacy.
Welch said he was sent by the lines to be recorded in the video, which was then posted on his X account by someone he trusted but not a legal name.
He added that on Hawk’s day of launch, he was “kind of knowing something” and pulled into a room where a team of people told him to talk to a livestream with YouTuber Stephen Findeisen, better known as Coffeezilla.
“Coffeezilla got there and it was like ‘dumb, I -mmute it,'” Welch said. “No one warned me about this man, like no one, they didn’t tell me he was like a crypto wizard. That’s right – he ate me a fuck.”
