Richard Heart, the founder of the Hex project, has been declared wanted internationally by Interpol for charges of tax evasion and assault. Interpol issued a 'Red Notice,' indicating that he is wanted in Finland for a series of crimes.
Charges Against Hex Founder
According to Europe's most wanted website, Richard Heart is accused of assaulting a 16-year-old girl. Reports allege that Heart grabbed her hair, dragged her into a stairwell, and struck her multiple times in the face. The victim was said to have suffered numerous injuries, including bruises and bleeding, and was left with blood-soaked clothing. Additionally, Heart is accused of tax fraud for not filing tax returns for multiple years, allegedly avoiding hundreds of millions in taxes between June 2020 and April 2024.
Interpol's Red Notice
Interpol's Red Notice allows local law enforcement to arrest the wanted individual for extradition. While not an international arrest warrant, it recommends that Interpol member countries locate and hold the person.
Richard Heart's Other Legal Issues
Apart from being wanted by Interpol, Richard Heart faces unresolved issues with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The regulator charged him with selling unregistered crypto products: Hex, PulseChain, and Pulse, through which he reportedly raised over one billion dollars.
The charges against Richard Heart and his legal issues with the SEC create significant challenges for him and his future projects. Further actions regarding his capture and accountability are likely imminent.
