Hex and PulseChain founder Richard Heart detained in Istanbul: reports
AI take
The detention matters less for the tokens' mechanics than for the unresolved legal exposure hanging over a founder whose projects have long carried regulatory scrutiny. The reported seizure of cash and luxury goods signals authorities are treating this as a financial case, not a minor holding. Whether Turkish police formally confirm the detention, and whether charges follow, is the open question — that, not the initial reports, will determine how the Hex and PulseChain communities read the risk.
