Richard Heart, also known as Schueler, is facing a series of serious legal challenges, including tax fraud and assault allegations. Finnish authorities have issued a Red Notice, which is a global alert requesting law enforcement to locate and provisionally arrest an individual. While not an international arrest warrant, this notice highlights Schueler's growing legal troubles. He has also been listed on Europe's most wanted fugitives list, with the allegations further detailing a physical assault on a 16-year-old victim.
The incident allegedly occurred when Schueler grabbed the victim by their hair, dragged them into a stairwell, and knocked them to the ground. The remand order for Schueler's arrest was issued three months ago, and the accusations have intensified as authorities continue to investigate.
In addition to the assault charges, Schueler is under investigation for tax evasion between June 2020 and April 2024. According to reports from Finnish public broadcaster Yle, Schueler’s income reporting did not align with the estimates provided by the tax service.
Schueler has yet to publicly comment on the Red Notice but remains active on social media. In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), he addressed his critics, stating,
“If the haters really wanted to get me down, they could raise more than the $27M I did for medical research.”
His comment suggests a defiance against the ongoing scrutiny, with Schueler claiming success despite the mounting legal challenges.
On top of these personal issues, Schueler is embroiled in a lawsuit with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC has accused him of offering unregistered crypto tokens, including $HEX, PulseChain ( $PLS ), and PulseX (PSLX). The SEC’s lawsuit claims that Schueler raised over $1 billion through these unregistered offerings, promoting them as investments that could lead to significant wealth. Despite Schueler’s attempts to have the $1 billion lawsuit dismissed, the SEC has pushed forward with the case, asserting its full authority to bring charges against him.
As Schueler navigates these serious legal matters, including both criminal and regulatory scrutiny, the situation remains fluid. His future in the crypto space and beyond seems uncertain, with his legal battles continuing to unfold.
