On November 27, it was reported that in a letter filed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, the SEC said that it had formally requested the Finnish Ministry of Justice on August 22, 2023 to serve litigation documents on Pulsechain, PulseX and Hex founder Richard Schuele (aka Richard Heart), as well as Hex, PulseChain and PulseX through him. But to date, the SEC has not received confirmation of service from Richard Schuele. SEC attorneys will report to the court on service by December 15 and will apply for substitute service if service is not done by then. Meanwhile, the conference call scheduled for Nov. 28 has been postponed to Jan. 30, 2024.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) sued Pulsechain, PulseX, and Hex founder Richard Heart for allegedly selling unregistered securities, saying it raised more than $1 billion by selling project tokens. The SEC said Hex, PulseChain and PulseX violated the federal securities laws through the issuance and sale of unregistered securities. In addition, by misappropriating investors' assets, Richard Heart deceived investors.
