American Influencer Haliey Welch Sued Over 'Meme Coin' HAWK American influencer Haliey Welch, known for her 'Hawk Tuah Girl' meme, has been sued in a class action lawsuit for her alleged promotion and sale of the HAWK meme coin. Welch launched the HAWK meme coin on December 4, which briefly reached a market capitalization of $490 million before plummeting by 95% within hours. The lawsuit alleges that Welch engaged in misleading or deceptive advertising by promoting HAWK without disclosing that she had a personal stake in the project. It also claims that Welch failed to adequately warn investors about the risks associated with investing in HAWK, which has been accused of being a "pump and dump" scheme. The lawsuit is seeking damages and injunctive relief to prevent Welch from continuing to promote HAWK. Keywords: Haliey Welch, HAWK, Meme coin, Class action lawsuit, Cryptocurrency, Pump and dump
