Killer in Cash App Founder Bob Lee Stabbing Case Sentenced to 16 Years to Life

TechFlow reported on Nov. 11, citing CNN, that Nima Momeni, the killer in the Cash App founder Bob Lee stabbing case, was sentenced to 16 years to life in prison in San Francisco on Nov. 10, 2026. In Dec. 2024, a jury found him guilty of second-degree murder for stabbing Cash App founder Bob Lee to death under the Bay Bridge in San Francisco on Apr. 4, 2023.

Prosecutors alleged that he premeditated the attack because his sister had been sexually assaulted by a drug dealer introduced by Lee. He drove Lee to a remote location and stabbed him three times, including in the heart. The jury rejected the self-defense claim and did not find him guilty of first-degree murder. Judge Alexandra Gordon denied a motion for a new trial, and the defense plans to appeal. Lee was 43 at the time and had previously served as CTO of Square and Chief Product Officer of MobileCoin.
