Crypto Influencer’s Dead Body Discovered Following 3-Month Search in Montreal
The post Crypto Influencer’s Dead Body Discovered Following 3-Month Search in Montreal appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Authorities have confirmed that the body of Kevin Mirshahi, a cryptocurrency influencer abducted in June, has been found in Montreal. A passerby discovered Mirshahi’s remains in Île-de-la-Visitation Park, located in the Ahuntsic-Cartierville district, on October 30.

Police were initially alerted to the incident following a 911 call reporting a conflict in the area of de la Commune and St-Hubert streets. The three other captives managed to flee and were located within hours.

The group became entangled in a pump-and-dump scheme involving a cryptocurrency called Marsan (MRS). It was launched by Antoine Marsan and Bastien Francoeur of Marsan Exchange on April 14, 2021, and was promoted by Mirshahi in exchange for payment in Marsan tokens. After reaching a peak value, the coin’s price plummeted by over 92% just four days later, leaving over 2,000 young investors with massive losses. It was then that the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) in Quebec initiated an investigation against Mirshahi and his company. As part of it, Mirshahi faced a ban on acting as a broker or investment adviser, on securities transactions, and on publishing related content. The ban, extended on July 4, 2024, also required him to remove certain social media posts. However,…
