’Hawk Tuah Girl’ Hailey Welch Claims SEC, FBI Cleared Her for the HAWK Memecoin Disaster

Hailey Welch—better known as ’Hawk Tuah Girl’—just dodged regulatory bullets from the SEC and FBI over her alleged ties to the HAWK memecoin collapse. Because in crypto, even viral internet fame can’t escape the long arm of finance cops.

Authorities reportedly cleared Welch after investors accused her of pumping the token. Turns out, being a meme sensation doesn’t automatically make you a crypto fraudster—though it does make you a prime target for blame when a shitcoin implodes.

Bonus jab: Another day, another memecoin disaster. At least this one came with a side of internet lore—because what’s modern finance without a little absurdity?
