Investors in the Hawk Tuah meme coin have filed a lawsuit against the producers and promoters of the asset, accusing them of securities fraud. The lawsuit does not include Hailey Welch, the creator of Hawk Tuah, as a defendant. The launch of Hawk Tuah in early December was a major scandal, with the token crashing after 20 minutes. The lawsuit claims that the asset was not properly registered as a security. The focus of the lawsuit is on the unequal token distribution and the violation of securities laws. Although rug pulls have been decreasing, internet fame and celebrity endorsements can still contribute to fraudulent meme coins. While Hailey Welch is not directly named in the lawsuit, her credibility within the community may be affected.
