Haliey Welch has released a statement following a class action lawsuit being filed amid the controversy surrounding the launch of her $HAWK memecoin.
Haliey, known as the “Hawk Tuah” Girl, is being accused of conning her fans with a pump-and-dump scheme that cost investors a whole lot of money while others reportedly made off with millions.
Haliey Welch Has Reached Out To Fans And Investors
Following a silent period in the wake of the controversial launch, Haliey Welch has made another statement, revealing that she is committed to helping everyone who was impacted.
“I take this situation extremely seriously and want to address my fans, the investors who have been affected, and the broader community. I am fully cooperating with and am committed to assisting the legal team representing the individuals impacted, as well as to help uncover the truth, hold the responsible parties accountable, and resolve this matter. If you have experienced losses related to this, please contact Burwick Law using the link below: https://www.burwick.law/newclient.”
A PR firm acting on behalf of Burwick Law told TotalProSports that Haliey did not create the coin and only received a sponsorship fee for “lending her persona to those that created and deployed the memecoin, $HAWK.”
“Outside of the initial fixed fee received before the launch, there was no guarantee she would make any additional money from the memecoin thereafter,” they added.
The firm also noted that Welch was not included in any parts of the project and had no control but received “incorrect advice” from the creators who were only interested in taking advantage of her success.
Burwick Law has filed a class action lawsuit against the creators of $HAWK.
