Nima Momeni sentenced to 16 years to life for killing Bob Lee

A San Francisco judge sentenced Nima Momeni to 16 years to life for killing Bob Lee, the founder of Cash App.

Lee was stabbed in April 2023, and Momeni was arrested nearly three weeks later.

Prosecutors said Momeni was angry over Lee’s introduction of his sister to a man she accused of drugging and sexually assaulting her.

Momeni testified that Lee attacked him with a knife, and he claimed he acted in self-defense.

A jury convicted Momeni of second-degree murder after a week of deliberations.

Lee’s daughter told the judge that her father’s death had shattered her world, while Momeni expressed regret.

The killing reignited debate about safety in San Francisco, and the sentencing ends a case that drew attention across the US tech industry.
