Recently, Richard Schueler, better known as Richard Heart, a notable figure in the crypto community and founder of HEX and PulseChain, has been added to the EU's most wanted list.
Richard Schueler has been listed for the following charges:
Tax Evasion: Schueler is accused of evading taxes amounting to millions of euros. He failed to file business-related taxes for several years and did not submit information about his personal income to tax authorities.
Assault: He faces charges for assaulting a 16-year-old victim. Schueler allegedly grabbed the victim by the hair, dragged them down stairs, and beat their face multiple times after throwing them to the ground.
An arrest warrant has been issued for Schueler by Finnish authorities. This is part of a broader legal scrutiny over his various business activities. Additionally, he has been sued by the US SEC for raising over $1 billion through unregistered securities offerings related to HEX, PulseChain, and PulseX.
The cryptocurrency community has shown mixed reactions to this event. Some express shaken trust and support for his projects, while others argue that he should be presumed innocent until proven guilty.
Richard Schueler's inclusion on the EU's most wanted list has sent shockwaves through both the crypto community and the public. This incident reignites discussions about legal transparency and accountability within the cryptocurrency industry.
