Crypto Platform Cash App Founder Killed By A Close Associate?
According to the report, Lee allegedly knew Momeni. Both tech executives in San Francisco, Lee was related to a car owned by Momeni throughout the morning of the assault that led to his loss of life.
As Bitcoinist reported on April 4, the Cash App creator was stabbed and died of his accidents. His physique was found within the 400 block of Main Street within the SoMa Bay space, a area with supposedly low site visitors and largely abandoned.
The police discovered no traces of theft nor believed this was a part of a “random attack.” These clues led them to Momeni. The suspect’s LinkedIn profile describes him as an IT Consultant and Entrepreneur. Momeni has been within the tech, finance, healthcare sector, and start-ups since 2005.
Since 2010, the tech govt has owned Expand IT, an organization devoted to “providing solid, reliable, and efficient technology solutions.” Before that, Momeni was a guide at Diablo IT and labored with different firms.

I’m grateful to SFPD’s Homicide Detail and all of the officers from SFPD Southern and elsewhere for his or her tireless work to convey Bob Lee’s killer to justice and for his or her arrest of a suspect this morning. (…) nothing can undo this mindless crime, and we reiterate our condolences to Mr. Lee’s members of the family, pals and colleagues. But I hope as we speak’s arrest can start a technique of therapeutic and closure for all these touched by this tragedy.
Bob Lee’s Murdered Politicised By The Media?
Mission Local claims Bob Lee’s murder was “politicized” by U.S. media and others. Some imagine San Francisco has turn into a violent metropolis “awash in crime and on a descent into further chaos.”
However, because the chart beneath exhibits, violent crime within the metropolis is near its historic low and decrease than in different U.S. cities.
Lawyer and crypto proponent Collins Belton stated the next on this challenge and the arrest of the Cash App creator’s potential killer:
if true, glad they acquired this man. Shines a reasonably ugly gentle on many in SV (Silicon Valley) racing to politicize this man’s loss of life. (…) as somebody who has lived in SF, I’ve at all times identified a lot of the narrative is overblown. There are legit points, however after I see folks evaluating the violence in SF (San Francisco) with like Mogadishu, its too far.
