Konstantin Galich, a 32-year-old Ukrainian crypto investor and CEO of Key (cryptography), was found dead by suicide in his Lamborghini in Ukraine — Kyiv. His death occurred shortly after a major global cryptocurrency market crash, which saw Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other digital assets sharply decline. The market downturn is attributed to US President Donald Trump's announcement of a 100% increase in tariffs on 'critical software' imports from China, causing widespread panic among investors, particularly those from China who are significant players in the crypto market. Galish reportedly faced severe financial difficulties and expressed feelings of depression before his death, with unverified reports suggesting he may have lost millions of client funds. Authorities are investigating the circumstances of his death, including potential links to business disputes or extortion.
