Hex founder Richard Hart has been declared wanted by Interpol, the world's largest international police organization. Interpol has issued a "red notice" for Richard Hart, whose real name is Richard Hurler. According to the details, Hart is wanted on charges of tax fraud and assault.
A red notice indicates that a person has been temporarily declared wanted worldwide, meaning that law enforcement authorities can locate and arrest the person. In Hart’s case, he is a person of interest in Finland, where authorities are actively searching for him.
However, the red notice does not matic to an international arrest warrant. Hart is also listed as a wanted fugitive, being sought to answer the same charges.
Hex founder wanted on tax evasion, assault charges
Europe’s most wanted website has shared details of the allegations against Richard Hart. According to the site, the Hex founder’s assault case involves a 16-year-old girl. Hart is said to have dragged the girl by her hair into a stairwell before throwing her to the ground.
The website stated that Hicks's father inflicted several physical injuries on the girl, causing her to suffer physical pain. "Schuyler physically assaulted the 16-year-old victim by grabbing her hair, dragging her into a stairwell and throwing her to the ground. While the victims were lying on their backs on the ground, Schuyler punched them 4-5 times in the face, nose, eyes and head area.
The report also revealed that the victim was left with varying degrees of physical harm, including broken facial skin, bleeding, and swelling in several areas. Additionally, the victim's clothes were covered in blood, detailing the extent of the damage to the heart.
The Hex founder also allegedly committed tax fraud, failing to comply with a mandatory duty that was important in assessing his taxes. The report alleged that Hart earned income from his business but failed to file taxes for several years. “Schuyler failed to file business tax returns for several years, and also failed to complete information related to his income on his pre-filled personal tax returns. Schuyler earned income from his business or income-producing activities that he should have declared to the IRS for tax assessment,” the report said.
The report also revealed that the Hex founder avoided paying hundreds of millions in taxes between June 2020 and April 2024. The red notice comes three months after Finnish authorities ordered his pretrial detention. According to a Helsinki-based whistleblower, Hart’s income reports did not match the tax office’s estimates.

Richard Hart is still embroiled in a legal battle with the US regulator, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The regulator has taken him to court over the alleged offering of three unregistered products, Hex, PulseChain (PLS), and Pulse (PLSX).
According to the SEC, Heart raised more than $1 billion by selling unregistered cryptocurrency products. The complaint states that Heart told investors that the tokens would provide them with a path to wealth. With Heart still embroiled in the SEC legal battle and his troubles with the Red Notice, it may only be a matter of time before he is caught.
