All eyes turned to Oleh Hromov, a crypto enthusiast who introduced Kyselov to digital currencies, set up his trading account, and configured his Ledger wallet, where Kyselov stored $700,000.
Hromov was the only one aware of the wallet's seed phrase.
Earlier this year, Kyselov sought to aid his family in Spain residing in a property valued at $1.5 million, but National Bank transfer restrictions foiled his plans.
He turned to Hromov for a cryptocurrency transfer solution, but the funds ended up in different accounts, and Hromov has since left Ukraine.
