Richard Heart Detained in Istanbul on Interpol Notice, Turkish Media Report
Interpol’s public record identifies Finland as the requesting jurisdiction and lists aggravated tax fraud; Heart’s separate SEC case was dismissed in 2025.
AI summary
Richard Heart, founder of HEX and PulseChain, was reportedly detained in Istanbul on an Interpol notice requested by Finland, which lists aggravated tax fraud as the offense. Heart's separate SEC case was dismissed in 2025, so this is a new legal front rather than a continuation of that matter. Traders in HEX and PLS should watch for price volatility and liquidity risk tied to the founder's legal exposure, though the direct market impact is limited to those niche tokens.
