Crypto Blogger Kostya Kudo Found Dead in Luxury Car in Kyiv

On October 11, Kyiv police discovered the body of 32-year-old Kostyantyn Hanich, known as crypto blogger and trader Kostya Kudo, inside a Lamborghini Urus. The man had a gunshot wound to the head, and a registered firearm was found nearby. Authorities are investigating the circumstances, preliminarily classifying the case as intentional homicide with a note of "suicide."

About Kostyantyn Hanich

Born in 1993 in Kyiv, Kostyantyn Hanich initially worked as a trainer specializing in musculoskeletal rehabilitation. Since 2018, he ventured into cryptocurrencies and investments, co-founding Cryptology, Key Trading Academy, and Key Screener. He also led the NGO "ATU" and TOV "TSTA CONSULTING," focused on educational services. Hanich owned luxury vehicles, including a Ferrari 296 GTB worth approximately $360,000 and a Lamborghini Urus.

Kostya Kudo and Trading

Kostya Kudo actively shared his trading experiences on social media. In a recent interview on the YouTube channel Buchachos, he discussed managing $6–7 million in investor funds, though some sources claim up to $65 million, much of it allegedly linked to corrupt money. He admitted to significant losses, including $1.3 million, which he repaid to investors. In 2023, his crypto exchange accounts were hacked, resulting in a loss of over $800,000. A recent OSINT investigation by the "190" project linked Hanich to the Web3 platform Furmula, alleging the withdrawal of $2 million in investor funds through a network of crypto wallets.

Circumstances of Death

Hanich’s body was found in the morning in Kyiv’s Obolon district. Police reported a farewell note near the body, and relatives mentioned his distressed state due to financial difficulties. A statement on Kostya Kudo’s Telegram channel confirmed his death, noting that the investigation is ongoing.
