Despite being wanted by Interpol, notorious crypto scammer Hayden Davis is back at it. This time, he’s behind WOLF—a meme coin that skyrocketed to a $40 million market cap before crashing in days. It’s the same old story: hype, FOMO, and then a sudden collapse, leaving investors in shock.
Davis is no stranger to the game. He has already pulled off multiple rug pulls, including LIBRA and MELANIA, vanishing with millions while investors are left counting their losses. Yet, despite his criminal history and ongoing scams, he keeps launching new tokens under fake identities – slipping past authorities and fooling traders again and again.
So how does he keep getting away with it? And what exactly happened with WOLF? Let’s break it down.
WOLF gained popularity after being promoted by the WallStreetBets (WSB) community, attracting a wave of investors. But on-chain analysts at Bubblemaps soon uncovered a major warning sign—82% of the total supply was controlled by a small group of wallets. This suggested insider manipulation and a possible rug pull.
Bubblemaps, working with crypto investigator Coffeezilla, traced 17 addresses and five cross-chain transfers, all linking back to a single wallet: OxcEAe. They claim this wallet belongs to Hayden Davis.

“Starting with the WOLF creator 6MsuHd, we followed funding transfers back across 17 addresses and five cross-chain transfers. All led to a single address: OxcEAe—the same one owned by Hayden Davis!”
Despite these concerns, WOLF shot up to a $40 million market cap before crashing, reinforcing suspicions that Davis was behind yet another scam.
Crypto analyst Ian Balina warned about these overly hyped and unregulated projects. He pointed out that WOLF looks strikingly similar to one of Davis’s past scams, HOOD, and is even linked to the same wallet address—an obvious red flag for investors.
This is far from Davis’s first crypto scam. His most infamous project, LIBRA, was once backed by Argentine President Javier Milei, who claimed it could help Argentina’s struggling economy. Investors poured in, pushing LIBRA’s market cap past $1 billion—only to see it crash overnight.
The fallout was devastating. Over $99 million in liquidity disappeared, leaving more than 10,000 investors with total losses of $250 million. Meanwhile, Davis allegedly cashed out nearly $100 million before the collapse. After this, Argentine lawyer Gregorio Dalbon demanded Davis’s arrest and called for an Interpol Red Notice against him.
Hayden Davis’s past is as shady as his crypto ventures. Once a college dropout selling Oreos and energy drinks, he later co-founded Kelsier Ventures, a questionable investment firm run by his father, Tom Davis—a convicted felon.
Despite his history of fraud and multiple accusations, Davis keeps launching new meme coins and draining investor funds.
