Cash App founder's killer gets 16 years to life in prison
Bob Lee died from multiple stab wounds in 2023.
On April 5, 2023, tech consultant Nima Momeni was sentenced to 16 years to life in prison for the murder of Cash App founder Bob Lee. Lee, a former chief technology officer at Square, had been stabbed multiple times in downtown San Francisco and died at a nearby hospital. Momeni, who was dating Lee's sister at the time of the murder, was found guilty of second-degree murder.
Prosecutors argued Momeni killed Lee after discovering his sister was being abused by drug dealers. The judge rejected Momeni's request for a new trial, and his legal team plans to appeal the decision. Elon Musk and Jason Calacanis were among those who quickly blamed the city's government for the tragedy, despite San Francisco's relatively low crime rate and declining homicide rate over the past four years.
