In a significant legal victory, Richard Heart, the controversial founder of HEX cryptocurrency, has defeated US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) fraud charges. After years of legal battles, a US court dismissed the SEC’s fraud case against Heart on February 28th, clearing his name and allowing HEX to operate with increased regulatory clarity. While this is a huge victory for the project, it’s crucial to remember that Heart still faces other allegations, including tax evasion in Finland and assault charges. The SEC originally alleged that Heart defrauded investors by promising excessive returns (38% APY) through his HEX token. The court ruled that the actions did not occur within US borders, leading to the dismissal of the case.
