Hex Founder Richard Heart Detained in Istanbul on Interpol Red Notice
The mechanics here matter more than the detention itself: an Interpol red notice turning into a physical arrest with assets seized at the address signals that cross-border enforcement against crypto promoters is moving from paper warrants to on-the-ground action. For projects built around a single, highly visible figure, that shift raises a governance and continuity question that tokenholders rarely price in advance. Whether other jurisdictions follow Turkey's lead, and how the associated entities and holdings respond, is the open question worth watching.
