According to CCN, the founder of HEX, was formerly known as ‘Spam King’, who was sued by Peacefire.org for violating Washington state's anti-spam laws back in 2002.

Additionally, it has been reported that he has also "sold anti-aging cures" while he volunteered for the The Methuselah Foundation, an organization committed to extending the human lifespan and "making 90 the new 50".
Now he has created a cryptocurrency - to be exact an ERC20 token - which claims to be “designed to increase in value” and “will replace gold and credit cards”. It is interesting as the founder has written a blog post back in 2017, stating 9 reasons why ethereum is inferior compared to bitcoin. Now it seems as though he is fully embracing the Ethereum Blockchain. His contradictory statements and previous criminal records do not bring any confidence to his claims that HEX will be there to replace gold and credit cards in a few years time.

In any case, this lack of transparency might be concerning to some." - CryptoBriefing
