It's a shame it took this long to go after such a blatant Ponzi. There is even an ad for this scheme painted on a wall near my home (in Mexico), so one would hope that the US will not be the only country where he will face charges.

It's crazy how many crypto natives were warning "hexicans" about hex and pointing out the most obvious indicator that it's a scam, namely Richard Heart defrauding them, yet most of his fanboys were not even willing to listen or evaluate the evidence with an open mind.

That would have had them admitting to themselves that their money is gone, including the promised gains they likely already spent.

Came to this thread just to say RIP Hexicans, thanks for providing the space!

I liked local "Italian restaurant ad" Ponzi. I mean it still looked like scam to me, but I can understand why people fell for it. Scheme can only last for few months, a year at most, so the organizer must be ready to GTFO as soon as it reaches the peak. Participants are offered $1k/months for placing the restaurant ad on their car (banner behind rear windshield) but asked for $3k or $4k "security deposit". Of course the "restaurant ad" actually only said "I make $1k/month with this ad, call xxx to learn how".
