Interpol Issues Red Notice for Hex Founder Richard Heart

Interpol has issued a Red Notice for Richard Schueler, also known as Richard Heart, the founder of Hex. The notice comes after serious allegations of tax fraud and assault. 

Finnish authorities are seeking Schueler’s arrest, and he is now listed among Europe’s most wanted fugitives. 

 

Allegations Against Richard Heart

 

 

Schueler is accused of evading taxes between June 2020 and April 2024. Finnish tax officials noticed discrepancies between Schueler’s reported income and their estimates. 

 

Along with tax fraud, he faces a disturbing assault charge. Authorities allege Schueler physically attacked a 16-year-old, dragging them into a stairwell and knocking them down. 

 

Despite these serious accusations, Schueler has not yet commented on the charges. His silence contrasts with his social media activity, where he continues to engage with followers.

 

Legal and Crypto Troubles Continue

 

Schueler’s legal issues go beyond the Red Notice. He remains embroiled in a lawsuit with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC accuses him of running unregistered offerings of Hex, PulseChain, and PulseX tokens. 

 

Schueler allegedly raised over $1 billion by promoting these tokens as ways to gain vast wealth. He tried to dismiss the lawsuit, but the SEC pushed back, asserting full authority. His legal battles are far from over, and Schueler’s defense team faces significant challenges.

 

Though his future remains uncertain, Schueler continues to remain active online. In a recent post, he claimed that detractors could do more to challenge him.
