Tech Consultant Nima Momeni found guilty in 2023 stabbing death of Cash App founder Bob Lee

SAN FRANCISCO: A San Francisco jury on Tuesday found a tech consultant guilty of second-degree murder in the stabbing death of Cash App founder Bob Lee, which carries a sentence of 16 years to life, rejecting the defendant’s claim that he had acted in self defense. “We’re happy that Nima Momeni will not be on the streets, he no longer has the opportunity to harm anybody else in this world,” the victim’s brother, Tim Oliver Lee, told reporters. “He’s very kind, he’s very loving and respectful and caring.” Prosecutors said Momeni planned the attack on Lee, driving him to an isolated spot under the Bay Bridge and stabbing him three times, including once to the heart, with a knife he took from his sister’s kitchen. They also said the murder weapon — a nearly 8-inch paring knife with a roughly 4-inch blade — had Momeni’s DNA on its handle and Lee’s DNA on the blade.
