‘Hawk tuah girl’ Haliey Welch says FBI probed her ‘memecoin disaster’

Haliey Welch, better known as the “Hawk tuah girl,” says the Federal Bureau of Investigation briefly probed her after her “memecoin disaster” — the failed launch of a token in her image that she promoted.  Welch said in a May 21 episode of her “Talk Tuah” podcast that the FBI showed up at her grandmother’s house looking to speak to her over the Hawk Tuah (HAWK) crypto token, which many crypto commentators have called an exit scam. “After the coin launch, the feds came to granny’s house and knocked on her door, and she called me, having a heart attack, saying: ‘The FBI is here after you, what have you done?’”Welch said she handed over her phone to the FBI and met with agents who “interrogated me, asking me questions and everything else related to crypto. ”“They cleared me, I was good to go,” Welch said source: https://cointelegraph.com/news/hawk-tuah-girl-haliey-welch-fbi-probed-over-hawk-memecoin?utm_source=rss_feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss_partner_inbound
