<p>In the video, Heart mentioned how he warned investors against BlockFi and Celsius — two crypto platforms that have gone bankrupt. In contrast, he said that the SEC did not make any effort in that regard.</p> 
<p>Heart also likened himself to The Giving Tree, a popular character from a book of the same name. In the video, he said that he is someone who has done a lot of good for the crypto industry.</p> 
<p>On the other hand, someone published a thread accusing Heart of doing shady transactions in crypto that benefited him. The posts even claimed Heart used Hex, a blockchain that he founded, as a means for him to get more money at the expense of his followers.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The SEC filed a lawsuit against Heart for selling tokens amounting to $1 billion — all of which the SEC considers unregistered securities. The lawsuit mentioned Hex, PulseX, and PulseChain as the crypto platforms that Heart used to obtain money illegally from customers.</p> 
<p>At the moment, it is not sure whether Heart will plead guilty, aim to settle, or fight the SEC in court.</p> 
<p>Meanwhile, HEX has made a 50% crash in the last 24 hours in the wake of the lawsuit announcement. In the last 7 days, HEX witnessed a decline from $0.02 to $0.01.</p>
