Following the announcement by U.S. President Donald Trump that a 100% tariff would be imposed on China, a sharp crash occurred in the cryptocurrency markets. Shortly after, well-known Ukrainian crypto investor Konstantin Galish was found dead in his luxury vehicle in Kiev. Initial findings suggest suicide, while it has been claimed that the $65 million fund he managed had gone bankrupt and was under severe financial pressure.
One of the well-known figures in the cryptocurrency world, investor and content creator Konstantin Galish, known by the nickname "Kostya Kudo," was found dead in his parked luxury Lamborghini in the capital of Ukraine, Kyiv.
INITIAL ASSESSMENTS INDICATE SUICIDE
Police sources stated that a weapon was found at the scene, and this weapon was a gift from Kyrylo Budanov, the Head of the Ukrainian Military Intelligence. While initial assessments suggest the possibility of suicide, the official investigation is ongoing in multiple directions. It is expected that the cause of death will be clarified through forensic examinations and the analysis of digital evidence.
DEATH COINCIDING WITH THE MARKET CRASH DUE TO TRUMP'S TARIFF DECISION
Galish's death coincided with a critical period when a sharp decline occurred in the cryptocurrency markets following U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement of a 100% tariff on China. Bitcoin fell to around $101,000, and Ethereum dropped to the $3,400 range, causing panic among global investors. With the rapid erosion of market values, significant losses were experienced, especially in altcoins; some digital assets saw value losses of up to 90%, causing severe damage to investors.
CLAIM OF 'A $65 MILLION FUND COLLAPSED UNDER HIS MANAGEMENT'
Among the claims is that Galish managed an investment fund of approximately $65 million, and the collapse of this fund may have contributed to his death. It is suggested that a significant portion of the fund came from connections with state institutions and Kyiv-based businessmen. However, these claims have not yet been confirmed by official sources.
KNOWN FOR HIS LUXURIOUS LIFESTYLE AND INVESTMENT TRAINING
"Kostya Kudo" was an active figure on social media. He was particularly known for his luxurious lifestyle and the training he provided on investment strategies. His posts with his Lamborghini and striking investment advice had garnered a significant following among young investors. However, it is reported that the recent failures of the projects he managed increased the pressure on him.
OFFICIAL STATEMENT EXPECTED
Ukrainian officials stated that a comprehensive investigation has been launched regarding the incident and that all possibilities are being evaluated. It is expected that definitive findings regarding Galish's death will be shared with the public following forensic reports and criminal investigations.
