  • Charles Hoskinson has been slammed over a recent comment on HEX and PulseChain.
  • Hoskinson said that the SEC’s case against HEX and founder Richard Heart will not end well.
  • A trader said that they will sell all their ADA tokens in protest of Hoskinson’s comments.

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson is facing criticism after his recent statements about HEX, PulseChain, PulseX, and their founder, Richard Heart.

During an interview with FOX Business contributor David Gokhshtein, Hoskinson talked about the new Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and its chair, Paul Atkins. He discussed how the SEC might affect the crypto market. Hoskinson highlighted that while the enforcement division consists of civil servants, the Commissioners and the Chair are elected politicians.

Because of this, any change in political leadership takes time to reach the bureaucratic level. However, once these politicians make their will known, Hoskinson expects the SEC to have backdoor meetings with crypto firms facing lawsuits. He believes these meetings will result in settlements or the SEC admitting fault. The agency could also impose fines in some cases.

However, Hoskinson stated that cases like HEX and its founder Richard Heart are different and will not end well. He said authorities have serious accusations against them.

Backlash and Repercussions

Crypto trader “SHILL GATES” called out Hoskinson in a post on X (formerly Twitter). SHILL GATES said Hoskinson’s comments are untrue and that the Cardano founder is “being intentionally deceptive and essentially lying about Heart, HEX, and PulseChain.” 

SHILL GATES also pointed out that while Gokhshtein asked about the SEC lawsuit against crypto firms, Hoskinson “purposely conflates” the lawsuits with a criminal case against Heart out of Finland.

Finnish authorities are pursuing Richard Heart for tax evasion and assault. On January 7th , they seized $2.6 million worth of luxury watches, mostly Rolexes, which they believe belong to Heart.

SHILL GATES expressed anger at the lack of pushback from Gokhshtein and Hoskinson’s attempts to defame HEX and PulseChain. 

In protest, he said he plans to sell all his ADA tokens, calling Hoskinson’s behavior “absolutely disgusting.” Hoskinson replied dismissively: “don’t let the door hit you on the ass on the way out.”
