In the summer of 2024, a street interview phrase "Hawk Tuah" made Hailey Welch an overnight sensation, becoming a viral internet sensation. However, just a few months later, this internet celebrity was embroiled in a crypto scam controversy - the meme coin HAWK she "endorsed" collapsed, with investors accusing her of fraud, and the FBI even conducting a direct search, with the SEC launching an investigation.
In the latest episode of the "Talk Tuah" podcast on May 20th, Welch detailed her nightmare experience for the first time:
The FBI not only raided her grandmother's house but also took her to Nashville for hours of interrogation, "They went through every message on my phone, asking about all contacts related to cryptocurrency."
Welch recalled, her voice still trembling. This overnight internet celebrity admitted that this experience nearly landed her in prison and left many trusting fans with devastating losses.
