The Finnish police are seeking the founder of Hex, Richard Heart, on charges of serious tax evasion and assault

ChainCatcher news, Hex and PulseChain founder Richard Schueler (also known as Richard Heard or Richard Heart) is currently under criminal investigation in Finland for serious tax evasion and assault charges.

According to local Finnish media YLE, Finnish police suspect Schueler, who resides in Helsinki, of serious tax evasion and assault. Helsinki detective Harri Saaristola stated that Schueler is suspected of owing hundreds of millions of euros in taxes to Finland. Harri Saaristola explained that discrepancies between Schueler's tax returns and the revenue assessments from the tax office prompted the investigation.

Authorities are currently unclear about his whereabouts. Finnish authorities estimate that Schueler's income for 2023 exceeds 15.2 million euros, but the tax evasion allegations are unrelated to his capital income. Finnish law enforcement believes that the cryptocurrency founder created, launched, and marketed his cryptocurrency in Finland, and that the marketing scope of these projects extends internationally.
