Let's take a look at one of the biggest influencer scams in the Solana rug pull coin space—Hailey Welch (the girl known as "Hawk Tuah").
1. In 2024, she went viral overnight with a "hawk tuah" video.
2. In December 2024, she launched a coin on Solana called $HAWK .
3. She aggressively promoted it to millions of followers.
4. The market cap soared to nearly $500 million in just a few hours.
5. It instantly crashed back to $25 million.
6. Large investors violently dumped their holdings.
7. Investors accused the team of outright "pump and dump" soft exit scams.
8. The team reportedly made several million just from high transaction fees (over $1 million on the first day).
9. Hailey claimed she only took $125k in marketing fees and didn't make a penny from the coin.
10. The project was sued for issuing unregistered securities.
11. Hailey said she cooperated with lawyers but denied direct involvement.

Did they go too far?
