Interpol has placed Richard Schuyler, widely known as Richard Hart, founder of Hex, on its global wanted list via a Red Notice following allegations of tax fraud and assault in Finland.

The Red Notice is a global request for law enforcement agencies to locate and temporarily arrest Schuyler.

Finnish authorities are pursuing Schuyler's arrest based on tax evasion allegations extending from June 2, 2020, to April 2, 2024. The case has taken on added gravity as Schuyler now appears on Europe's most wanted fugitives list, as authorities detail disturbing assault allegations involving a minor. .

Schuyler allegedly "physically assaulted a 16-year-old victim by grabbing her hair, pulling her into the stairwell and throwing her to the ground," according to the listing.

While Schuyler has not directly addressed the Red Notice, which was preceded by a pretrial detention order issued three months earlier, he has maintained an active presence on social media.

In a recent lengthy post on

“Why settle for being wanted, when you can be the most wanted?” Schuyler highlighted his various initiatives, including self-help books and P2P publishing programs.

He also emphasized his remarkable positive impact, saying: “I really do my best to make the world a better place, and I have to say the world can be very cruel to people who make a difference.”

The cryptocurrency market reacted quickly to the news, with Hex (hex) experiences a sharp 25% drop in value after the announcement.

HEX price has fallen more than 99% since its all-time high of $0.5561. While the Red Notice does not constitute an international arrest warrant, it does increase the pressure on Schuyler.
