Haley Welch在街頭採訪中單個單詞“ Hawk Tuah”之後變成了一夜之間

在2024年夏天，在街頭採訪中，一個單詞“霍克·圖阿”（Hawk Tuah）使哈利·韋爾奇（Haliey Welch）過夜，她成為了“霍克·圖阿（Hawk Tuah）女孩”

After becoming a viral sensation for her “Hawk Tuah” catchphrase during a street interview in the summer of 2024, Haliey Welch, the “Hawk Tuah girl” who was hotly discussed on the entire Internet.

在2024年夏天的街頭採訪中，她的“鷹塔阿”口號成為了病毒式的轟動，哈利·韋爾奇（Haliey Welch）是“霍克·圖阿女孩”（Hawk Tuah Girl），她在整個互聯網上進行了熱烈討論。

But just a few months later, the new-generation Internet celebrity was involved in a fraud scandal due to a crypto project - the meme coin #HAWK that she “endorsed” collapsed, investors denounced her as a fraud, the FBI even came to search her house, and the SEC intervened in the investigation.

但是僅僅幾個月後，由於加密項目的一個新代互聯網名人涉及欺詐醜聞 - 她“認可”倒塌的模因硬幣#hawk，投資者譴責她為欺詐行為，聯邦調查局甚至來搜索她的房子，而SEC則在調查中進行了介入。

In the latest episode of the “Talk Tuah” podcast on May 20, Welch described this nightmarish experience in detail for the first time:

在5月20日的“ Talk Tuah”播客的最新一集中，韋爾奇首次詳細描述了這場噩夢的經歷：

The FBI not only raided her grandmother’s home, but also took her to Nashville for several hours of interrogation. “They went through every message in my phone and asked about all contacts related to cryptocurrency.”

聯邦調查局不僅突襲了祖母的家，而且還帶她去了納什維爾進行了幾個小時的審訊。 “他們瀏覽了我手機中的每條消息，詢問了與加密貨幣有關的所有聯繫人。”

Welch recalled, her voice still trembling. The overnight Internet celebrity admitted that the experience “almost put her in jail” and caused countless fans who trusted her to lose all their money.

韋爾奇回憶說，她的聲音仍然在發抖。一夜之間的互聯網名人承認，這種經歷“幾乎使她入獄”，並導致無數信任她損失所有錢的粉絲。

After Haliey Welch became popular last year, she quickly seized the traffic dividend, not only launching related peripheral products, but also interacting with many celebrities, appearing on “Saturday Night Live” to be spoofed, and even throwing out the first pitch for the New York Mets.

Haily Welch去年流行後，她迅速抓住了交通股，不僅推出了相關的外圍產品，而且還與許多名人互動，出現在“星期六夜現場”中，甚至欺騙了紐約大都會。

Last September, she took advantage of the opportunity to launch the podcast “Talk Tuah”, inviting heavyweight guests such as billionaire Mark Cuban. In February this year, the podcast was rated as the “fastest growing new podcast in 2024” by market research firm Edison Research.

去年9月，她利用了機會推出播客“ Talk Tuah”，邀請了億萬富翁Mark Cuban等重量級客人。今年2月，播客被市場研究公司Edison Research評為“ 2024年增長最快的新播客”。

Last December, Haliey Welch launched the “Hawk Tuah” token (HAWK), named after her iconic catchphrase.

去年12月，Haliey Welch推出了以她標誌性的標誌性命名的“ Hawk Tuah”代幣（Hawk）。

The speed of HAWK’s collapse was shocking. On the first day of the token’s listing, the market value plummeted from a peak of $500 million to only $25 million, a drop of 95%. Such a drastic price fluctuation immediately aroused market doubts, and many people accused it of being a typical “pump and dump” scam.

鷹倒塌的速度令人震驚。在代幣上市的第一天，市場價值從5億美元的峰值下降到只有2500萬美元，下降了95％。如此巨大的價格波動立即引起了市場的疑問，許多人指控它是典型的“泵和垃圾場”騙局。

Although the Welch team strongly denied the accusation, several industry insiders, including Coffeezilla, a cryptocurrency anti-fraud blogger with 4 million followers, publicly criticized the issuance.

儘管韋爾奇團隊強烈否認了這一指控，但幾個行業內部人士，包括加密貨幣的反欺詐博客作者，有400萬關注者，公開批評了這一發行。

Coffeezilla said in a live confrontation with Welch’s team that the $HAWK launch was “one of the worst and most tragic cryptocurrency launches I’ve ever seen” and directly accused Welch of insider trading. This incident not only severely damaged Welch’s image as an Internet celebrity, but also made more people pay attention to the huge risks hidden behind #MemeCoin investment.

咖啡齊拉在與韋爾奇的團隊的現場對抗中說，$霍克發射是“我見過的最糟糕，最悲慘的加密貨幣發射之一”，直接指責韋爾奇從事內幕交易。這一事件不僅嚴重損害了韋爾奇（Welch）作為互聯網名人的形象，而且使更多的人關注#MemeCoin投資背後隱藏的巨大風險。

After the incident broke out, Haliey Welch immediately suspended all social media activities and podcast updates to cooperate with the FBI and SEC investigations.

事件發生爆發後，Haley Welch立即暫停了所有社交媒體活動和播客更新，以與FBI和SEC調查合作。

“They knocked on my grandmother’s door and she almost had a heart attack,” said Welch on the latest episode of her podcast, Talk Tuah.

韋爾奇在播客Talk Tuah的最新一集中說：“他們敲了我祖母的門，她幾乎心髒病發作。”

After the collapse of $HAWK coin, the FBI quickly intervened in the investigation. The agents not only searched her home, but also took her to Nashville for interrogation. “A room full of men took turns to interrogate me, asking me to explain all my contacts related to cryptocurrency, and even went through every record in my phone.”

$ HAWK硬幣崩潰後，聯邦調查局迅速介入調查。特工不僅搜尋了她的家，而且還帶她去了納什維爾進行審訊。 “一個充滿男人的房間輪流詢問我，要求我解釋與加密貨幣有關的所有聯繫，甚至瀏覽了我的手機中的每張唱片。”

Even more disturbing is that the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) also subsequently took notice of the case. “Instead of talking to me, they took my phone and returned it three days later.” Welch speculated that the investigators may have cloned her device and extracted all the data.

更令人不安的是，美國證券交易委員會（SEC）隨後還注意了此案。 “他們沒有和我說話，而是拿了我的電話，三天后返回。”韋爾奇推測，調查人員可能已經克隆了她的設備並提取了所有數據。

Although she was not included in the lawsuit list in the end and was cleared of suspicion legally, the psychological shadow brought about by this incident is far from dissipated.

儘管最終沒有被包括在訴訟清單中，並且在法律上被掩蓋了懷疑，但這一事件帶來的心理陰影遠未消失。

After the incident broke out, Hailey and her team experienced tremendous pressure. Their phones were “harassed” by malicious messages, and they were confronted by people at the airport asking “Where’s my money?” They even received death threats, including one threatening to “chop her up and feed her to the dog.” She once hid because she was worried about public hatred.

事件發生爆發後，海莉和她的團隊遇到了巨大的壓力。他們的手機被惡意消息“騷擾”，他們在機場的人們面對“我的錢在哪裡？”他們甚至收到了死亡威脅，其中包括一個威脅要“切碎她並將她餵給狗”。她曾經藏起來是因為她擔心公共仇恨。

The collapse of $HAWK was not accidental. Welch revealed that she knew almost nothing about cryptocurrency at first and considered herself to be inadequately knowledgeable. But in the end, after repeated introductions from brokers, she was attracted by the bright prospects portrayed by the project, which promised to pay for marketing expenses and donate to her charity, which made her feel that this was a good business.

$ HAWK的崩潰並不是偶然的。韋爾奇透露，她幾乎一開始對加密貨幣一無所知，並認為自己是不足的知識。但是最後，在經紀人一再介紹之後，她被該項目描繪的光明前景所吸引，該項目承諾要支付營銷費用並捐贈給她的慈善機構，這使她感到這是一項不錯的業務。

She said that the project initially described the task as “very little work” and that she only needed to record a selfie video according to the copy provided by the other party and send it to the operator, who would post it on her Twitter account. Hailey even revealed that she did not download the X app on her phone and did not know the crypto community members convened by the project operator. Almost everything she posted was what the other party asked her to

她說，該項目最初將任務描述為“很少的工作”，她只需要根據另一方提供的副本錄製自拍視頻，然後將其發送給操作員，後者將其發佈在她的Twitter帳戶上。海莉甚至透露她沒有在手機上下載X應用，也不知道項目運營商召集的加密社區成員。她發布的幾乎所有內容都是另一方要求她
