Man Convicted Of Killing Cash App Founder Bob Lee Sentenced

Nima Momeni was sentenced to 16 years to life in prison for the killing of Bob Lee. His attorneys said they plan to appeal.

The man convicted of the stabbing death of Cash App founder Bob Lee was sentenced Tuesday.

In December of 2024, a jury found tech consultant Nima Momeni guilty of second-degree murder, rejecting the defendant’s claim that he had acted in self-defense.

On April 4, 2023, Lee, a renowned tech mogul, was found staggering on a deserted downtown street in San Francisco, dripping a trail of blood and calling for help. The 43-year-old later died at a hospital. Momeni has remained in custody since his arrest nine days after the killing.

Before imposing the sentence, the judge over the case rejected Momeni’s request for a new trial. He was sentenced to 16 years to life in prison. His attorneys said they plan to appeal.
