Hex Founder Richard Heart Added to Interpol’s Global Wanted List
Richard Heart, the founder of Hex, has been placed on Interpol’s global wanted list through a Red Notice due to allegations of tax fraud and assault in Finland. The Red Notice serves as a worldwide request for law enforcement agencies to locate and provisionally arrest Heart.
Allegations and Charges
Finnish authorities are pursuing Heart’s arrest based on tax evasion allegations spanning from June 2, 2020, to April 2, 2024. The case has gained additional gravity as Heart now appears on Europe’s most wanted fugitives list, where authorities detail disturbing assault allegations involving a minor.
According to the listing, Heart allegedly “physically assaulted a 16-year-old victim by grabbing their hair, dragging them into the stairwell and knocking them to the ground.”
Response and Social Media Activity
While Heart has not directly addressed the Red Notice, which was preceded by a remand order issued three months ago, he has maintained an active presence on social media. In a recent lengthy post on X, he appeared to indirectly reference his situation, challenging “haters” to surpass his claimed $27 million contribution to medical research and other accomplishments.
“If the haters really wanted to get me down they could raise more than the $27M I did for medical research. Write free self-help books better than my sciVive and Fix The World. Work in the courts for legal precedent for P2P publishing software. Found things that work flawlessly…”
Heart further emphasized his perceived positive impact, stating, “I really do the best I can to make the world a better place, and I must say, the world can be pretty unkind to folks making a difference.”
Impact on the Crypto Market
The crypto market has reacted quickly to the news, with Hex (HEX) experiencing a sharp 25% decline in value following the announcement. The price of HEX is down by over 99% since its all-time high of $0.5561. While a Red Notice does not constitute an international arrest warrant, it elevates the pressure on Heart.
