Cash App Founder Bob Lee Killed

Nima Momeni, a tech executive, has been apprehended by the San Francisco Police Department for his suspected involvement in the stabbing of Bob Lee, the creator of Cash App, on April 4. The police executed search and arrest warrants in San Francisco and Emeryville, which led to Momeni's arrest. San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott disclosed in a press conference on April 13 that Momeni and Lee knew each other, although the motive behind the stabbing has not been established yet, and the investigation is still ongoing. Despite San Francisco's reputation as a "crime-ridden" city, the fact that Lee knew Momeni indicates that the attack was not a random one.

Brooke Jenkins, the San Francisco district attorney, urged the public not to jump to conclusions about the case until more facts were uncovered. At present, it is uncertain what charges Momeni will face in connection with Lee's death, but San Francisco Mayor London Breed has referred to the case as murder. Bob Lee was a prominent figure in the tech world, having served as the CTO of Square (later renamed Block), the CPO of MobileCoin, and a father of two, in addition to creating Cash App. The news of his untimely death sent shockwaves through the crypto community.
