Hawk Tuah Girl’s Crypto Fiasco Continues

Haliey Welch needs to talk tuah lawyer. The viral star, a.k.a. Hawk Tuah Girl, has found herself in hot water after the group behind her meme coin, HAWK, was sued on Thursday for failing to properly register the cryptocurrency as a security. A group of people who invested in the coin — which soared to a $490 million market cap before experiencing a 90 percent crash hours later — are suing overHere Ltd. founder Clinton So and his company, the Tuah the Moon Foundation, and influencer Alex Larson Schultz for damages in excess of $151,000. Welch herself is not named in the suit.

However, just because she’s not named as a defendant does not free her from this mess. Welch’s name is all over the complaint, and attorneys for the plaintiffs argue that her involvement put their clients under the impression that HAWK was a registered security. “Many of the investors were first-time cryptocurrency participants drawn to the project through Welch’s involvement,” the complaint reads. “The rapid decline in the Token’s value caused substantial damages to investors who relied on Welch’s participation and the project’s stated roadmap.”

In a statement shared to X, Welch said, “I take this situation extremely seriously and want to address my fans, the investors who have been affected, and the broader community.” She added, “I am fully cooperating with and am committed to assisting the legal team representing the individuals impacted, as well as to help uncover the truth, hold the responsible parties accountable, and resolve this matter.”

A spokesperson for overHere, the web3 company that launched and promoted HAWK, told Bloomberg that the company had done nothing wrong. “We have been extremely transparent about the limited scope and extent of our involvement in the Hawk Tuah token project. We are confident that we have done nothing wrong,” they said.

This saga should probably serve as a warning to all future viral celebrities: Just stick to podcasting.

Bitcoin Advocate Robert Kiyosaki Sells .25 Million in Cryptocurrency | ForkLog

Robert Kiyosaki sold $2.25M in Bitcoin for cash flow, investing in surgery centers and billboards.

Entrepreneur and author of the bestseller “Rich Dad, Poor Dad,” Robert Kiyosaki, announced that he sold his bitcoins worth $2.25 million to generate “additional cash flow.”

The investor noted that he bought the coins “years ago” when they were priced at about $6,000. The selling price was approximately $90,000.

Kiyosaki invested the proceeds in two surgical centers and a billboard business.

“Practicing What I Teach”

This is how the entrepreneur titled his post. He estimates the new investments will bring him a monthly tax-free income of ~$27,500. This is expected to expand his revenue to “hundreds of thousands” per month, considering the existing income from real estate.

Nevertheless, Kiyosaki assured: 

“I remain very bullish and optimistic about Bitcoin and will start buying more when I have positive cash flow.”

He described his investments from the cryptocurrency sale as a real-life implementation of a “get rich plan.” Kiyosaki stated that his actions align with the teachings of “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” and his board game “Cashflow.”

In recent years, the entrepreneur has regularly urged the accumulation of bitcoins, gold, and silver as opposed to “fake dollars.” He also predicted “the biggest stock market crash” and the collapse of the global financial system.

However, he concluded his post about selling cryptocurrency with the phrase:

“The world economy is booming.”

Why Not Borrow?

In 2024, Kiyosaki revealed that he owns 15,000 homes, acquired through bank loans. He rents out the properties and, thanks to buying on credit, pays no taxes.

Around the same time, he admitted that his liabilities to financial institutions amount to $1.2 billion. Kiyosaki stated that he sees no issue with this, as he uses borrowed funds for investments.

The entrepreneur contrasted this approach with the strategy of his friend Dave Ramsey, whose advice is: “live debt-free.”

Ramsey’s family office also built a real estate empire valued at about $600 million, but entirely with available funds.

“For most people with low financial literacy, Dave’s advice is the wiser choice. For financially savvy and experienced investors, my approach might be better,” Kiyosaki stated.

In October 2025, on the podcast The Iced Coffee Hour, the entrepreneur casually responded to a question about his debt size: “a billion, maybe two.” Regarding potential default concerns, he further made a remark that caught the community’s attention:

“If you owe banks $20 million and can’t repay, you’re in trouble. But if it’s a billion dollars, it’s their problem.”

Earlier in November, Kiyosaki once again warned of an “impending crash.” He emphasized that he continues to buy “gold, silver, bitcoins, and Ethereum, even when they fall.” His forecast for the leading cryptocurrency is $250,000 in 2026.

Given all this, commentators raised reasonable questions about why the sale of a digital asset was necessary for investments of a relatively small amount by Kiyosaki’s standards. Users noted that the entrepreneur could have simply slightly increased his debt, which he sees no problem with.

The anticipated growth of Bitcoin by Kiyosaki would have brought him about $4 million in income over a year on the realized volume of cryptocurrency. The additional cash flow from the new investments he declared will amount to about $300,000 over this period.

On Friday, November 21, Bitcoin prices fell below $83,000. Experts did not rule out a further decline to $70,000.
