Richard Heart, the founder of HEX and PulseChain, was detained by Turkish authorities in Istanbul after a request related to a Finnish tax investigation. The detention was reported in mid‑October and is separate from his earlier dispute with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Heart's legal name is Richard James Schueler. No conviction has been established, and details about any seized property or the procedural stage remain unclear. The case will proceed under applicable legal processes, including possible extradition and trial.
