Influencer Haliey Welch has publicly denied controlling the Hawk Tuah cryptocurrency after it lost around 95 per cent of its value shortly after launch, as scrutiny intensifies over the failed project.
According to Welch, the coin was launched while she was in California recording podcasts, away from those handling the technical aspects of the project. She described noticing unusual behaviour from an individual involved in running the coin, who appeared visibly anxious during the rollout.
