Analysts have that the cause of his death could also be debt-induced murder, or suicide or murder as a result of blackmail.
A cryptocurrency investor told the Ukrainian news site “Strana” that recently cryptocurrency investors in other European countries have also been murdered or abducted, and this is becoming increasingly common.
A acquaintance with Konstantin Galic confirmed to the “Strana” news site that on the eve of his death, Ukrainian security agencies pressured him and demanded money. Konstantin Galic allegedly managed the money of Ukrainian senior officials and security forces, so they either wanted to claim debt from him in this way or were purely blackmailing him.
Constantine Gallic himself revealed in a recent interview that he had been threatened. He also said that one of his projects was shut down due to partner fraud and lost about $1.3 million.
According to reports, Ukraine’s political and economic relations are based on corruption. Today, with huge amounts of money being spent on war, the situation has become worse.
In recent years, corruption in Ukraine has spread to cryptocurrencies, and cryptocurrencies have even become the “centre” of current corruption in Ukraine, with amounts of up to billions or even tens of billions of dollars flowing into them.
Konstantin Galic is one of the many people who control the money who want to make a profit in the market and put it under the management of someone else. During this period, disputes and problems emerged one after another, leading to the prevalence of extortion. One cryptocurrency investor said this was likely what led to Galic's suicide or murder.
