Ukrainian Crypto Influencer Konstantin Galish Found Dead in Kyiv as Police Open Probe

Authorities confirmed a firearm was found beside him in his car and have not determined the cause of death.

Overview

  • Kyiv Police said the 32-year-old, also known as Kostya Kudo, was discovered on Oct. 11 in a Lamborghini Urus in the Obolonsky district with a gunshot wound to the head.
  • The force reported a weapon registered to Galish was located in the vehicle, and his official Telegram channel said an investigation is underway.
  • Community platforms and some media described the death as an apparent suicide, but officials have not issued a finding.
  • The death closely followed a sharp crypto selloff linked by reports to President Donald Trump’s new China tariffs and software export controls.
  • Recent reports detailed financial strains, including an OSINT probe alleging a partner’s ~$2 million withdrawal tied to a project and Galish’s own admission of trading losses while managing multi‑million‑dollar trust funds, with messages to family citing depression and money problems.
