The developers of the meme coin 'Hawk Tuah Girl' are facing a legal battle in the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York.
The 'HAWK' token initially surged in value but then dropped 91%, causing financial damages to investors.
The lawsuit alleges insider trading and claims that some developers purposely abandoned the project after benefiting from the token's price.
Investors argue that the token showed characteristics of an unregistered security and that its initial success relied on the popularity of the viral sensation, 'Hawk Tuah Girl'.
