【HEX Founder Arrested in Istanbul! $4 Million in Cash Reportedly Found at the Scene as Token Plummets 🔥】
🌟 加入X先生的粉丝群聊跟进行情 Another major story has emerged from the crypto world!
Richard Heart, founder of HEX and PulseChain, was detained by police in Istanbul on October 14, according to Turkish media reports. Authorities reportedly found around $4 million in cash, 64 luxury watches, electronic devices, and firearms at the scene.
But what truly deserves attention is not just these luxury items—it’s the legal issues surrounding him.
Finnish authorities had previously opened an investigation into him over alleged aggravated tax fraud. In 2024, they issued an Interpol Red Notice seeking assistance in locating and provisionally arresting him.
It’s important to note that a Red Notice is not an international arrest warrant, and allegations of wrongdoing do not mean someone has been convicted by a court.
Richard Heart was also previously sued by the U.S. SEC over token offerings involving HEX, PulseChain, and PulseX. However, that U.S. civil case was dismissed by a court in 2025 and should not be conflated with the Finnish investigation.
So, what does this mean for the crypto market?
Richard Heart is closely associated with the HEX and PulseChain ecosystems. News of his detention could undermine investor confidence, and the related tokens have also seen a notable drop. However, short-term price volatility does not necessarily mean a project will stop operating.
📌 What really matters is how the project founder’s legal risks affect confidence in the tokens and the ecosystem as a whole. The next things to watch are whether Turkish and Finnish officials confirm developments in the case, and whether any subsequent extradition proceedings are involved.
