Joe Rogan has brutal response to Hawk Tuah girl fans who invested money into her cryptocurrency that saw them 'lose life savings'

Haliey Welch released her $HAWK meme coin last month, but it soon ended in disaster

 

People are said to have lost huge amounts of money after investing in Hawk Tuah girl's cryptocurrency, but Joe Rogan doesn't have much sympathy for them.

In early December, Haliey Welch - AKA Hawk Tuah girl - released her own meme coin called $HAWK.

But her fans were quick to lose money on the newly released cryptocurrency, with some going as far as saying that they had lost their life savings after its value dramatically plummeted in a short period of time.

It wasn't long until law firms swooped in and started investigating the matter, and now some people have sued the 22-year-old and her team for the whole debacle.

In a document that was filed to the court on December 19, the defendants are accused of 'unlawful promotion and sale of the Hawk Tuah cryptocurrency memecoin', and that $HAWK was 'sold to the public without proper registration'.

In the wake of the scandal, Joe Rogan has weighed in on it all - and his comments were quite brutal.

Speaking on a recent episode of his podcast, Rogan said: "One guy invested a million dollars. Imagine like, 'The Hawk Tuah girl? Yeah, that’s a sound investment. That seems like a good place to put my nest egg.'"

The podcaster went on: "It was probably some people she got invested in, and she probably doesn’t understand all that stuff. She’s only 22 or something. It’s probably the partners that went with her. They pumped and dumped on her, and then she was left holding the bill because nobody knows who they are. I’m just guessing. I don’t know."

It's thought that 12 people are suing Welch and her team for $151,000.

Addressing this, Rogan said: "Isn't it weird that there's only 12 people and they've only lost $151,000 total? [...] Like, how many cold stone r*****s are there roaming the world?"

Welch has addressed the ordeal herself and insisted that she's taking it all 'extremely seriously'.

Breaking her two-week social media silence, the viral star tweeted: "I take this situation extremely seriously and want to address my fans, the investors who have been affected, and the broader community.

"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."

She went on urge people who have experienced any losses to contact Burwick Law.
