Haley Welch在街头采访中单个单词“ Hawk Tuah”之后变成了一夜之间

在2024年夏天，在街头采访中，一个单词“霍克·图阿”（Hawk Tuah）使哈利·韦尔奇（Haliey Welch）过夜，她成为了“霍克·图阿（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年夏天的街头采访中，她的“鹰塔阿”口号成为了病毒式的轰动，哈利·韦尔奇（Haliey Welch）是“霍克·图阿女孩”（Hawk Tuah Girl），她在整个互联网上进行了热烈讨论。

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.

但是仅仅几个月后，由于加密项目的一个新代互联网名人涉及欺诈丑闻 - 她“认可”倒塌的模因硬币#hawk，投资者谴责她为欺诈行为，联邦调查局甚至来搜索她的房子，而SEC则在调查中进行了介入。

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，韦尔奇首次详细描述了这场噩梦的经历：

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.”

联邦调查局不仅突袭了祖母的家，而且还带她去了纳什维尔进行了几个小时的审讯。 “他们浏览了我手机中的每条消息，询问了与加密货币有关的所有联系人。”

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.

韦尔奇回忆说，她的声音仍然在发抖。一夜之间的互联网名人承认，这种经历“几乎使她入狱”，并导致无数信任她损失所有钱的粉丝。

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去年流行后，她迅速抓住了交通股，不仅推出了相关的外围产品，而且还与许多名人互动，出现在“星期六夜现场”中，甚至欺骗了纽约大都会。

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，她利用了机会推出播客“ Talk Tuah”，邀请了亿万富翁Mark Cuban等重量级客人。今年2月，播客被市场研究公司Edison Research评为“ 2024年增长最快的新播客”。

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

去年12月，Haliey Welch推出了以她标志性的标志性命名的“ Hawk Tuah”代币（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.

鹰倒塌的速度令人震惊。在代币上市的第一天，市场价值从5亿美元的峰值下降到只有2500万美元，下降了95％。如此巨大的价格波动立即引起了市场的疑问，许多人指控它是典型的“泵和垃圾场”骗局。

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.

尽管韦尔奇团队强烈否认了这一指控，但几个行业内部人士，包括加密货币的反欺诈博客作者，有400万关注者，公开批评了这一发行。

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.

咖啡齐拉在与韦尔奇的团队的现场对抗中说，$霍克发射是“我见过的最糟糕，最悲惨的加密货币发射之一”，直接指责韦尔奇从事内幕交易。这一事件不仅严重损害了韦尔奇（Welch）作为互联网名人的形象，而且使更多的人关注#MemeCoin投资背后隐藏的巨大风险。

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

事件发生爆发后，Haley Welch立即暂停了所有社交媒体活动和播客更新，以与FBI和SEC调查合作。

“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.

韦尔奇在播客Talk Tuah的最新一集中说：“他们敲了我祖母的门，她几乎心脏病发作。”

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硬币崩溃后，联邦调查局迅速介入调查。特工不仅搜寻了她的家，而且还带她去了纳什维尔进行审讯。 “一个充满男人的房间轮流询问我，要求我解释与加密货币有关的所有联系，甚至浏览了我的手机中的每张唱片。”

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，美国证券交易委员会（SEC）随后还注意了此案。 “他们没有和我说话，而是拿了我的电话，三天后返回。”韦尔奇推测，调查人员可能已经克隆了她的设备并提取了所有数据。

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.

尽管最终没有被包括在诉讼清单中，并且在法律上被掩盖了怀疑，但这一事件带来的心理阴影远未消失。

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.

事件发生爆发后，海莉和她的团队遇到了巨大的压力。他们的手机被恶意消息“骚扰”，他们在机场的人们面对“我的钱在哪里？”他们甚至收到了死亡威胁，其中包括一个威胁要“切碎她并将她喂给狗”。她曾经藏起来是因为她担心公共仇恨。

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的崩溃并不是偶然的。韦尔奇透露，她几乎一开始对加密货币一无所知，并认为自己是不足的知识。但是最后，在经纪人一再介绍之后，她被该项目描绘的光明前景所吸引，该项目承诺要支付营销费用并捐赠给她的慈善机构，这使她感到这是一项不错的业务。

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

她说，该项目最初将任务描述为“很少的工作”，她只需要根据另一方提供的副本录制自拍视频，然后将其发送给操作员，后者将其发布在她的Twitter帐户上。海莉甚至透露她没有在手机上下载X应用，也不知道项目运营商召集的加密社区成员。她发布的几乎所有内容都是另一方要求她
