On Saturday, October 12, 2025, in Kyiv's Obolonskyi district, 32-year-old Konstantin Galich, also known as Kostya Kudo, was discovered deceased inside his Lamborghini with a gunshot wound to the head. The weapon used was registered in his name, and Ukrainian authorities are treating the incident as a potential suicide.
Galich was a prominent figure in the cryptocurrency trading scene. His death coincides with a severe downturn in the crypto market, where a liquidation event exceeded $19 billion. This crash was precipitated by US President Donald Trump's announcement of tariffs on China, leading to widespread financial losses among traders like Galich.
Reports indicate that Galich suffered substantial setbacks due to the market volatility. The Economic Times described the event as a 'mysterious death' amid the $30 million market crash, though broader liquidations reached $19 billion. No further details on his personal finances or exact losses have been confirmed.
The incident highlights the high-stakes nature of cryptocurrency trading, especially in volatile global economic conditions influenced by geopolitical decisions. Investigations are ongoing, with no evidence of foul play reported so far.
