In Kyiv, a man known in certain circles as Kostya Kudo has reportedly shot himself.
Galish, a 32-year-old Ukrainian cryptocurrency investor, influencer, and co-founder of the Cryptology Key trading academy, was widely known online by the alias “Kostya Kudo” (sometimes stylized as “Kudo”). He built a significant following on platforms like Telegram, Instagram, and YouTube, where he shared trading strategies, promoted crypto education, and managed around $65 million in client assets.
According to my information, he used an award firearm personally presented to him by Kyrylo Budanov.
Kudo was the co-founder of the company Cryptology. He drove a Lamborghini.
From what sources say, he took his own life after Trump announced the 100% tariffs on China.
Apparently, he couldn’t handle the pressure anymore. There was a lot at stake.
Last year, he managed around 65 million dollars.
He took funds under a 7% quarterly rate.
About 10 million of that belonged to the GUR (Ukrainian military intelligence).
The rest came from many influential people in Kyiv — including several officials.
This morning, many of them woke up in a bad mood.
They had invested money with him, and for three years, the scheme had been working.
He traded futures, very cautiously. But a market crash overnight triggered massive liquidations, and he simply bankrupted everyone involved.
Before that, they had scammed a token — losses there also reached millions.
He was crushed by that failure. And then came Trump’s announcement…
That’s why Kostya left us.
I expect serious turmoil in Kyiv. I’ll report if anything happens.”
