“Rogan mocked the decision-making of investors who poured money into the ill-fated crypto project.
Speaking on The Joe Rogan Experience, he remarked, ‘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 speculated on Welch’s true role in the project, suggesting that she may have been exploited by more experienced operators.
‘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,’ Rogan said.
But his critical commentary didn’t stop there. Rogan went on to question the scope of the lawsuit, which involves 12 plaintiffs seeking $151,000 in damages.
‘Isn’t it weird that there’s only 12 people and they’ve only lost $151,000 total?’ he asked, before making a disparaging remark about the intelligence of those involved.
‘How many stone-cold r*****s are roaming the world?’ he asked.
In the wake of the scandal, Welch broke her silence on social media last month, addressing her fans and investors in a statement posted to X.
‘I take this situation extremely seriously and want to address my fans, the investors who have been affected, and the broader community,’ she wrote.
‘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 continued.
