Finland wants to detain Richard Heart, alleges millions in unpaid taxes

Finnish police have issued a remand order for crypto fugitive Richard Heart, also known as Richard Schueler, on charges of assault and gross tax evasion amounting to several hundred million euros. Heart is suspected of owing taxes in Finland, with his returns not matching up to the tax administration's assessment. The police suspect neglecting to report income or providing false information. The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) previously charged Heart with misappropriating investor funds in July 2023, accusing him of using the money for personal luxury items. Heart attempted to dismiss the lawsuit in April. The investigation into his alleged tax avoidance and assault is in the early stages and involves international authorities.
