Richard Heart (born Richard James Schueler) is an American cryptocurrency founder. Heart created the HEX cryptocurrency in 2019. In 2023 he launched three more cryptocurrencies: Pulsechain and PulseX, forks of Ethereum and Uniswap, respectively, and the Incentive token. He is currently believed to reside in Helsinki, Finland.

Early life and education

Richard Heart was born on October 9, 1979, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Career

Heart's career began with the Florida home-based car audio system business, Audio Ecstasy, Inc, He later founded a marketing business, and in 2002 incurred a default judgement and fines from a court in Washington, US, for sending unsolicited commercial email. As Heart expanded his business operations to Panama but eventually returned to the U.S. after facing legal issues related to his business dealings there.

He later wrote a self-help book, sciVive, which was made available for free online in both text and audio versions.

On December 2nd 2019, Heart launched the cryptocurrency HEX, which bills itself as the first blockchain certificate of deposit by introducing a time-lock and allocating inflation to stakers instead of validators or miners.

He later created PulseChain and PulseX. PulseChain, a full-state fork of Ethereum, received funds from over 40,000 cryptocurrency wallets. PulseX, a fork of decentralized exchange Uniswap, was also launched under the PulseChain ecosystem. According to filings made by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, collectively the two projects raised more than $1 billion in financing.

In 2023, The Highest of Stakes, a movie about Heart and HEX was released in cinemas in the USA and the U.K. It was later made available on AppleTV, Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, YouTube, Vudu and many other outlets.

The Highest of Stakes has received overwhelming reviews for its comprehensive coverage and unbiased storytelling. Critics have likened it to the "Tiger King of crypto," with its enthralling narrative captivating viewers. The film's ability to present a balanced view, allowing audiences to form their own opinions, has been particularly appreciated.

Non-profit fundraising

Heart created an initiative where donors to the SENS Research Foundation would receive cryptocurrency. Over $25 million was raised over 5 days.

Controversies and criticisms

Popular cryptocurrency ranking website Coinmarketcap does not list any cryptocurrency founded by Heart on the homepage of its website. In September 2021, an Arizona resident took legal action against it, contending this caused HEX to trade at lower prices than it would have had it been listed accurately based on its market capitalization. The case was dismissed in February 2023.

On July 31, 2023, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission charged Heart with defrauding investors out of $12.1 million and illegally raising more than $1 billion in unregistered cryptocurrency offerings to finance personal luxury goods purchases, including a 555.55-carat black diamond, The Enigma, for $4.3 million in cryptocurrency, renaming it the "HEX.com diamond".
