“On the eve of his death, the man informed his relatives about his depressed state due to existing financial difficulties, and also sent them a farewell message,” Kyiv Police said.
The global crypto crash
Galish’s tragic death came shortly after a global crash in the crypto market, attributed to Trump tariffs.
Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency, plunged more than 12% following the announcement posted on Trump’s Truth Social account. The broader market followed suit, with Ethereum and other major tokens also tumbling.
