Meet lawyer Max Burwick — ‘The ambulance chaser of crypto’
The New York-based lawyer suing Pump.fun and the Hawk Tuah creators says that when you’re in the public eye, “you’re bound to catch heat.”
It was after clawing back six figures from a decentralized finance (DeFi) scam project in 2021 that New York-based attorney and Navy veteran Max Burwick realized he could take on cryptos biggest grifters and win.
It changed the way I looked at everything, Burwick tells Magazine. Hes currently suing Solana-based memecoin factory Pump.fun and the creators of the Hawk Tuah (HAWK) token, among many others.
Two things happened to me at that moment that were critical. One was I understood the dual nature of what people pretend to be in crypto. And I also understood the power that you could have as a lawyer.
