Hawk Tuah girl disappears from social media after memecoin rug-pull
Last Updated on 11 December 2024 by CryptoTips.eu
On the same day that Bitcoin traded above $100.00 for the first time ever, Hailey Welch, aka the “Hawk Tuah” girl, launched her own memecoin called “Hawk.” It shot 900% higher in the first few minutes after launch and then crashed down 95%. A classic rug-pull graph.
Several investors announced they would be taking legal action, and after a disastrous week of her team trying (unsuccessfully) to convince everyone this wasn’t a rug-pull, Hailey disappeared from social media and is no longer commenting on any crypto related topics.

Hawk
While Bitcoin, crypto and the global stock markets seem to be taking a brief pause in the early days of this week, the internet is mostly talking about the many investors who last week thought it would be a good idea to buy Hailey Welch’s memecoin Hawk.
Can anyone tell me how people still fall for these scams?

How does a 'Hawk Tuah' coin grow to $500M dollars?! Can we actually have compassion for those who lost money on this, or is it simply sheer stupidity? pic.twitter.com/aLUJL2GVMM
Sites like 9gag, reddit and memedroid are full of memes making fun of these investors. Someone also launched a ‘Straight Tuah Prison’ coin.
Meanwhile, Hailey, who had been milking her 15 minutes of fame for a whole year, seems to have disappeared from social media sites altogether.

Her media team tried to convince everyone that the ‘Hawk’ memecoin could generate profits in the longer term, but a crypto researcher has now shown that it was precisely the members of Hailey’s media team who sold shortly after launch.
