Nima Momeni Sentenced to 16 Years to Life for Killing Cash App Founder Bob Lee
Nima Momeni was sentenced to 16 years to life in prison for the 2023 stabbing death of Cash App founder Bob Lee in San Francisco. A jury convicted Momeni of second-degree murder, rejecting his self-defense claim. Lee's family, including his daughter Scout, addressed the court, expressing their loss. Prosecutors said Momeni planned the attack due to anger over Lee's involvement with his sister. Momeni's lawyers plan to appeal after the judge denied a new trial.
