It wasn't until October 30th that a passerby discovered his body in Montreal's Île-de-la-Visitation Park. Mirshahi owns and operates an investment firm called Crypto Paradise Island. In 2021, the Quebec financial investment regulator, Autorité des marchés financiers, launched an investigation into the company. On July 4, 2024, the regulator prohibited Mirshahi, his company, and two related individuals from engaging in brokerage or investment advisory activities and securities trading, and ordered them to delete their social media posts. In August, the police arrested a 32-year-old woman who is suspected of being involved in the kidnapping and causing the death of Mirshahi. She is now facing charges of first-degree murder, etc. (The Block)
