Tech consultant sentenced to 16 years to life in stabbing death of Cash App founder
The tech consultant convicted in the stabbing death of Cash App founder Bob Lee has been sentenced in San Francisco to 16 years to life to prison
Tech consultant Nima Momeni was sentenced Tuesday in San Francisco to 16 years to life in prison for the stabbing death of Cash App founder Bob Lee, a jury convicted him of second-degree murder in December 2024. Lee, 43, died at a hospital nine days after the April 4, 2023, killing. Momeni maintained he acted in self-defense, claiming Lee had attacked him with a knife after Lee criticized him for not spending more time with his family.
Prosecutors said Momeni drove Lee to an isolated spot under the Bay Bridge and stabbed him three times, including once to the heart, with a knife taken from his sister's kitchen. Momeni appealed the sentence. Lee's family, including his 18-year-old daughter Scout, addressed the court, expressing their loss and disappointment over Momeni's actions.
