Konstantin Galish, also reported as Ganich and known online as Kostya Kudo, was found dead last night in his Lamborghini Urus in the Obolon area. Police discovered his body inside the car and a weapon registered to him nearby.
The death comes amid a severe market downturn that saw heavy losses in stocks and crypto. Friends say he had sent farewell messages and spoken about deep financial loss and worsening depression in the days before his death.

Authorities have not released a formal cause of death while they complete the investigation. Relatives and acquaintances have told reporters that he was struggling emotionally in the days prior.
Messages and personal strain
Those close to him said he had complained about growing depression. He reportedly sent goodbye texts to family members before the incident.
Sources told reporters he suffered severe money losses that left him unable to find a way out. Friends described him as under intense stress in recent weeks.
The tragedy happened during a sharp global market sell-off, and on that same day, the US stock market fell by about $1.65 trillion in value. The cryptocurrency market lost roughly $10 billion during the crash. The sudden swings worsened pressure on traders and leveraged positions across the sector.
How the crash may have mattered?
People who spoke with him say his losses were linked to the market downturn. The timing suggests the financial stress and the wider market rout likely added to his distress.
For many traders, sudden collapses drain liquidity and leave little room to recover. In his case, friends said this hit him hard and fast.
Professional roles and lifestyle
Galish served as director of the Ukrainian Traders Association, and he was a public figure in local crypto circles and posted frequently online. He kept an ostentatious lifestyle.
Reports say he owned a Ferrari 296 GTB valued at 15 million hryvnias. Those details underline how visible his fall appeared to others.
The case highlights the human cost behind dramatic asset swings. It also raises questions about support systems for people who face sudden financial ruin.
Traders, exchanges, and industry groups may need to consider more outreach, clearer warnings about leverage, and better access to help for those under severe stress.
