HEX founder outed as “Spam King”! The HEX Founder has been embroiled in the controversial cryptocurrency project.
Heart was successfully sued by Peacefire.org in 2002 for violating Washington state’s anti-spam laws. Yet Heart’s dark past as the ‘Spam King’ might be the least worrying fact to emerge.

Screenshots from between 2005 and 2007 show Heart (real name: Richard J. Scheuler) was investigated by authorities in Panama for theft and extortion.
Heart has had multiple aliases – from James Hart, J. Richard, and Richard Schueler). Heart’s supposed cohorts included robbers, blackmailers, and corrupt government officials.
A Google Groups post made by Miguel Antonio Bernal in 2007 references Heart/Schueler as belonging to a “new breed of thieves”. The post describes the process by which American criminals flooded Panama to “rob, cheat and blackmail local businessmen using Panama’s weak legal system”.

Heart now charades as a thought leader in the cryptocurrency space, but while Satoshi Nakamoto was working on Bitcoin, Heart was hocking anti-ageing remedies.
The Methuselah Foundation, for which Heart apparently volunteered, is committed to extending the human lifespan and “making 90 the new 50”. The video below shows Heart in between his spells as Spam King and crypto thought leader.

Anyone new to the cryptocurrency space may still register surprise at some of these revelations. Those who have been here longer will barely raise an eye to it.
Anyone new to cryptocurrency may be shocked at this news, especially if they listen to the charlatan, but to veterans of the space, this “shocking” news isn’t at all shocking. We are not batting our eyes.
The old adage coined by P.T Barnum holds true nowhere better than in the cryptosphere: “There’s a sucker born every minute.”
People like Richard Heart, J. Richard, James Hart and Richard J. Schueler could not exist were it otherwise.
