> Hawk Tuah girl is charged for crypto rug pull scam

What crime could she possibly be charged with? Did she make any statements that weren't true about it? It's still not SEC regulated, so there's no avenue there. Also AFAICT she didn't even have a financial interest in the coin beyond being paid to promote it.



Things could change under the new administration, but the SEC considers crypto to be securities: https://www.investopedia.com/crypto-regulations-for-financia...

She promoted it. Did she disclose why? https://www.npr.org/2023/03/22/1165477713/lindsay-lohan-jake...
