Cash App Founder Bob Lee Murder Case Sentenced: Killer Gets 16 Years to Life

Odaily reports: Nima Momeni, the tech consultant convicted of fatally stabbing Cash App founder Bob Lee, was sentenced Tuesday in San Francisco to 16 years to life in prison. The San Francisco Superior Court judge also denied his motion for a new trial, and defense attorneys said they plan to appeal.

On April 4, 2023, 43-year-old Bob Lee was attacked with a knife in San Francisco and later died from his injuries. In December 2024, a jury convicted Momeni of second-degree murder, rejecting his self-defense argument. Bob Lee had founded the mobile payment app Cash App and served as Square's chief technology officer; at the time of his death, he was chief product officer of the cryptocurrency project MobileCoin.
