OverHere's primary publicly documented product is the $HAWK memecoin launch in December 2024; no other major token launches have been confirmed by verifiable sources as of mid-2026. The company's official handles are @overHere_gg on X (Twitter) and the Telegram community at t.me/OverHereCommunity.","heading":"Entity Overview","severity":"medium","sources":[{"credibility":2,"name":"Web3 Launchpad & Platform overHere launches $HAWK - Decrypt","type":"news_article","url":"https://decrypt.co/293609/web3-launchpad-platform-overhere-launches-hawk-haliey-welchs-official-hawk-tuah-memecoin"},{"credibility":2,"name":"HAWK memecoin draws lawsuit, but 'Hawk Tuah' girl not sued - Blockworks","type":"news_article","url":"https://blockworks.co/news/hawk-memecoin-draws-lawsuit"}]},{"content":"On November 26, 2024, OverHere announced a partnership with internet personality Haliey Welch (the \"Hawk Tuah Girl\") to launch an official memecoin, $HAWK, on the Solana blockchain. The token used an allowlist campaign (November 26 through December 2, 2024), permitting pre-selected participants to receive free token allocations. According to on-chain data analyzed by Bubblemaps, approximately 285 wallets participated in the presale/gifting phase, and these wallets collectively controlled roughly 96% of the token's total supply at launch.\n\nThe HAWK token's stated allocation breakdown — known as \"Hawkanomics\" — reserved only 2% of supply for public distribution, while a 17% \"strategic allocation\" designated for key opinion leaders (KOLs) and strategic investors was fully unlocked at the time of token generation. A 15% trading fee was embedded in the launch contract, which OverHere and co-defendants attributed publicly to anti-bot and anti-sniper mechanics.\n\nThe token launched December 4, 2024 at approximately 5:00 PM EST (22:00 UTC) on the Solana blockchain via the Meteora platform. The pre-sale raised approximately $2.8 million, initially valuing the project at $16.69 million. Within hours of launch the market cap surged to a peak of approximately $490–$491 million. The price then collapsed by more than 90% within hours, returning to approximately $41.7 million by some reports and as low as $25 million by others. As of June 2, 2026, the HAWK token trades at approximately $0.000087 with a market cap of roughly $873,000 — down approximately 99.4% from its all-time high of $0.01485 reached on launch day.","heading":"The $HAWK Memecoin Launch","severity":"high","sources":[{"credibility":2,"name":"Tracking the Hawk Tuah Memecoin Launch on Solana - TRM Labs","type":"research","url":"https://www.trmlabs.com/resources/blog/tracking-the-hawk-tuah-memecoin-launch-on-solana"},{"credibility":2,"name":"How Hailey Welch's $HAWK Token Became a $500M Disaster - Bubblemaps","type":"research","url":"https://blog.bubblemaps.io/how-hailey-welchs-hawk-token-became-a-500m-disaster/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Hawk Tuah Sued After Memecoin Pre-Sale Raises $2.8M Before 95% Value Drop - Blockonomi","type":"news_article","url":"https://blockonomi.com/hawk-tuah-memecoin-pre-sale-raises-2-8m-before-95-value-drop/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Hawk Tuah (overhere.gg) HAWK price - CoinMarketCap","type":"on_chain","url":"https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/hawk-tuah-token/"}]},{"content":"On-chain analysis published by Bubblemaps in December 2024 identified severe token concentration at launch: approximately 96% of the HAWK supply was controlled by a tightly connected cluster of wallets. Of the 285 wallets that participated in pre-sale allocations, 89 wallets (31%) sold 100% of their holdings immediately upon launch, and 47 wallets (16%) sold more than half their stakes within hours.\n\nThe 17% \"strategic allocation\" — valued at approximately $3.3 million at peak price — was fully unlocked at the token generation event, contrary to the project's stated commitment to community-driven, fair distribution. The 15% trading fee generated more than $2 million in revenue within 24 hours of launch, with over $1 million collected within the first minutes of trading. Proceeds from these fees went to a creator wallet that the team described as controlled by a \"Cayman Island-based foundation,\" later alleged in the federal lawsuit to be the Tuah the Moon Foundation, which plaintiffs allege Clinton So moved offshore to circumvent U.S. securities regulations.\n\nThe amended complaint filed in November 2025 alleges that insiders purchased large token quantities before launch and sold approximately $1.27 million in tokens within minutes of the token going live, and characterizes the entire launch architecture — including pre-sale allocation, float restriction, sniper configuration, liquidity provisioning via Meteora, and wallet-cluster coordination — as \"a carefully constructed on-chain roadmap for fraud.\" These are allegations in active litigation; no defendant has been found liable by a court.","heading":"On-Chain Insider Activity Allegations","severity":"critical","sources":[{"credibility":2,"name":"How Hailey Welch's $HAWK Token Became a $500M Disaster - Bubblemaps","type":"research","url":"https://blog.bubblemaps.io/how-hailey-welchs-hawk-token-became-a-500m-disaster/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"How insiders and bots crashed Hawk Tuah Girl's memecoin - DL News","type":"news_article","url":"https://www.dlnews.com/articles/markets/investors-angry-hawk-tuah-girl-haliey-welch-memecoin-crashes/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Hawk Tuah girl dragged into Solana memecoin lawsuit - Cryptopolitan","type":"news_article","url":"https://www.cryptopolitan.com/hawk-tuah-girl-dragged-into-solana/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Investors File Lawsuit Over Hawk Tuah Memecoin Collapse - Brave New Coin","type":"news_article","url":"https://bravenewcoin.com/insights/investors-file-lawsuit-over-hawk-tuah-memecoin-collapse"}]},{"content":"On December 19, 2024, a federal class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, captioned Albouni et al. v. Schultz et al., Case No. 1:24-cv-08650. A related case, Rodriguez Mena v. Schultz et al., No. 1:24-cv-08965, was subsequently filed and later consolidated. The defendants named in the original complaint are: Alex Larson Schultz (known as \"Doc Hollywood\"), Overhere Limited, Clinton So, and Tuah The Moon Foundation.\n\nThe complaint, filed on behalf of 17 plaintiffs who alleged collective losses exceeding $151,000, asserts violations of Sections 5 and 12(a)(1) of the Securities Act of 1933, alleging that the $HAWK token constitutes an unregistered security that was offered and sold to U.S. investors without SEC registration. Plaintiffs further allege the defendants leveraged Haliey Welch's celebrity status to create a speculative frenzy, and that Clinton So allegedly moved the Tuah The Moon Foundation offshore and routed 17% of tokens through the organization to circumvent U.S. securities laws.\n\nOn April 23, 2025, the Honorable Cheryl L. Pollak appointed Alexander Escobar as Lead Plaintiff and designated Wolf Popper LLP and Burwick Law as Co-Lead Counsel to represent the plaintiff class. The cases were consolidated by order of Magistrate Judge James R. Cho on October 27, 2025. An amended complaint was filed in November 2025, adding Haliey Welch, Welch's manager Johnnie Forster, his company 16 Minutes LLC, the Meteora platform and its CEO Ben Chow, Solana Sweeper, Memetic Labs, and Dynamic Labs Limited as defendants. The amended complaint expanded the fraud allegations and sought alternative methods of service for existing defendants Clinton So and OverHere Limited. As of the last available docket update (March 2026), the litigation was actively proceeding.\n\nAll allegations in this lawsuit are unproven in court. OverHere and Clinton So deny wrongdoing. The case is referenced on the AVOID.NET investigation page for the $HAWK token at /hawk.","heading":"Federal Securities Class Action (EDNY)","severity":"critical","sources":[{"credibility":1,"name":"IN RE $HAWK TOKEN SECURITIES LITIGATION, 1:24-cv-08650 - CourtListener","type":"court_filing","url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69481072/albouni-v-schultz/"},{"credibility":1,"name":"Wolf Popper LLP and Burwick Law Appointed Co-Lead Counsel in $HAWK Memecoin Litigation","type":"court_filing","url":"https://www.wolfpopper.com/news/wolf-popper-llp-and-burwick-law-appointed-co-lead-counsel-in-hawk-memecoin-litigation"},{"credibility":1,"name":"Cases & Investigations $HAWK memecoin - Wolf Popper LLP","type":"court_filing","url":"https://www.wolfpopper.com/cases-investigations/hawk-memecoin"},{"credibility":1,"name":"Hawk Tuah Memecoin Investors Sue Promoters Over Registration - Bloomberg Law","type":"news_article","url":"https://news.bloomberglaw.com/securities-law/hawk-tuah-memecoin-investors-sue-promoters-over-us-registration"},{"credibility":2,"name":"'Hawk Tuah' star pulled into expanding memecoin lawsuit - Protos","type":"news_article","url":"https://protos.com/hawk-tuah-star-pulled-into-expanding-memecoin-lawsuit/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Hawk Tuah Girl Added to Solana Meme Coin Lawsuit - Decrypt","type":"news_article","url":"https://decrypt.co/349110/hawk-tuah-girl-solana-meme-coin-lawsuit-after-cooperating-law-firm"}]},{"content":"Following the token collapse and lawsuit filing, OverHere issued a public statement denying wrongdoing. The company told Bloomberg Law: \"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.\" OverHere further stated it received \"zero fees\" and made \"zero profit\" from the launch and that its involvement was \"unofficial\" and \"uncontracted.\"\n\nIn the same statement, OverHere placed substantial blame on co-defendant Alex Larson Schultz (\"Doc Hollywood\"), alleging he \"controlled all token decisions, fees, and treasury management,\" shelved a planned token lock-up arrangement, and misrepresented OverHere's actual capacity in the project. OverHere also stated it \"should've spoken out sooner\" and acknowledged trusting problematic partners. The statement called for Welch to engage publicly with affected investors and for a comprehensive treasury audit.\n\nOverHere's statement did not address questions about the Cayman Islands or British Virgin Islands offshore entity the team had previously referenced, nor the allegations regarding the Tuah the Moon Foundation's structure.

The SEC opened an investigation into Haliey Welch personally. In March 2025, Welch's attorney James Sallah announced the SEC had closed the investigation without making any findings against Welch and without seeking any monetary sanctions. The FBI also reportedly conducted inquiries, which were also closed with no action against Welch.\n\nThe SEC closure pertained specifically to Haliey Welch as an individual and did not address the conduct of the launchpad operators. OverHere Limited and Clinton So are not named parties in any confirmed SEC enforcement action as of the research date (June 2026). The civil securities class action in the EDNY, in which OverHere and So remain defendants, proceeds independently of any regulatory enforcement track.","heading":"Regulatory Context: SEC Investigation of Haliey Welch","severity":"medium","sources":[{"credibility":2,"name":"Haliey 'Hawk Tuah' Welch Says SEC Meme Coin Probe Closed, No Charges - TMZ","type":"news_article","url":"https://www.tmz.com/2025/03/27/haliey-welch-hawk-tuah-girl-meme-coin-investigation-over-sec-no-charges/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Hawk Tuah Girl Says FBI, SEC Cleared Her of Legal Wrongdoing - The Block","type":"news_article","url":"https://www.theblock.co/post/355173/hawk-tuah-girl-says-fbi-sec-cleared-her-of-legal-wrongdoing-in-memecoin-fiasco"}]},{"content":"AVOID.NET maintains a separate investigation page for the $HAWK token itself, covering the token's market data, on-chain distribution, and the broader ecosystem of parties involved in the launch and collapse.
