Richard Schueler, aka Richard Heart, is already at the center of an SEC suit. Now he has issues in Finland, his chosen country of residence.
Richard Schueler, also known as Richard Heart, has been remanded into custody in absentia in Finland. The American founder of the Hex and PulseChain crypto firms is a resident of Helsinki and is suspected there of tax evasion and assault, according to a local report.
In the United States, Heart is facing a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) suit for alleged unregistered securities offerings. Neither US nor Finnish authorities can find him.
A remand order was issued for Heart on Sept. 13, according to Finnish public broadcaster Yle. Heart is suspected of tax evasion between June 2, 2020, and April 2, 2024, and of assault between Feb. 16 and 17, 2021. No details about the assault charge were provided.
