Turkey confirms Hex founder Richard Heart’s arrest, says police seized $7.15 million and six cold wallets
Turkish authorities arrested Richard James Schueler, known as Richard Heart, in Istanbul, and the detention was later confirmed by Turkey’s justice minister. Separate reporting says police searched 15 addresses and seized cash, cold wallets, firearms, and ammunition during the operation.
What this rests on
What it means
Each sentence links inside to the piece that supports it.
People watching Richard Heart’s case would notice that the arrest is now an official matter in Turkey, not just a local-media report. The update also puts his wife’s detention and the listed seizures in the public record, which matters to anyone tracking the status of the operation and the assets tied to it.
In practice, the operation is no longer just about locating a person; it has already included arrests, searches, and the taking of specified items from addresses in Istanbul. The reported list shows that cash, cold wallets, firearms, ammunition, and luxury goods were all handled as part of the same action.
