Ukrainian Crypto Trader Found Dead Amid $19 Billion Market Crash
Konstantin Galish, a 32-year-old crypto trader known as Kostya Kudo, was discovered dead in his Lamborghini Urus in Kyiv's Obolon district. Authorities confirmed a gunshot wound to the head as the cause of death, with a registered firearm found at the scene. The incident is being treated as a potential suicide.
The tragedy unfolded during a severe crypto market downturn, with approximately $19 billion liquidated within 24 hours. Reports suggest Galish, who also operated as a crypto influencer, may have been linked to losses totaling $30 million across client accounts or projects. Distressed messages sent to relatives prior to his death hinted at financial and emotional turmoil.
Kyiv police have secured the scene while continuing their investigation. The crypto community mourns the loss as markets reel from one of the most volatile weeks in recent history.
