The queen of a meme “Hawk Tuah Girl” from the June 2024 viral meme, has now announced the launch of memecoin ‘HAWK’. The memecoin is set to go live on December 4, 2024 at 5 PM EST.

Hailey Welch calls the memecoin a movement to unite her diverse fanbase, including TikTok followers, podcast listeners, merchandise buyers, and charity supporters.

But evidently she didn't learn from the backlash suffered by DraftKings "Walking Bets Girl" Taylor Mathis....or did she.

Mathis is yet to suffer much in the way of any repercussions for her own hawking of a memecoin in her likeness that some have called a "pump and dump".

Mathis, a former DraftKings influencer known affectionately as "The Walking Bets Girl", found herself embroiled in a cryptocurrency scandal whereby she promoted a useless $Taylor token based off her likeness.  Her promotion resulted in a $6 million market cap that reportedly earned Mathis a cool $120,000.

Mathis sold her stake for 95 SOL (another cryptocurrency, with 95 tokens currently worth just over $16,000). She then sent messages saying she didn’t want to be involved in $TAYLOR any more. She posted on X that crypto wasn’t for her and that she would donate the money to charity. But she quickly began promoting the coin once again, buying 34 million $TAYLOR tokens at a new low price of $9,000 (giving her almost 1.5 times her initial stake and a $7,000 profit).

Mathis appeared in a video shortly thereafter claiming she was not really involved, mentioned some type of threats and contemplated suicide.

She revealed: "I only reluctantly even 'played along' because they hacked my iCloud and threatened me and my family posting our home addresses sending videos with guns etc if I didn’t do things."

"I honestly have never been in such a dark place in my life, I honestly want to kill myself.  I have made no oney (sic) off of this and all the false information out there is disgusting.  I don't know how people do this to people."

A few folks even compared Mathis to the infamous "Hawk Tuah Girl".

"Hawk Tuah girl lasted longer than Taylor Mathis and #WalkingBets with DraftKing."

But Mathis is back at her "Walking Bets Girl" bit as if nothing ever happened.

Sports bettor and podcaster Jeff Nadu on Twitter asked Monday: "Whatever happened to the 'extortion' story that Taylor Mathis made up to pretend she wasn't involved in a pump and dump scam?"
