The tech world was rocked on April 14 when news broke that Cash App founder Bob Lee had been stabbed to death in what was initially believed to be a random street crime.
However, new details have emerged that shed light on the real culprit behind Lee’s tragic demise.
Prosecutors say tech entrepreneur Nima Momeni was responsible for Lee’s death. The reason ? Concerned that Lee was involved with Momeni’s younger sister, Khazar Elyassnia.
The plot thickens as little is known about Elyassnia except that she is married to prominent San Francisco plastic surgeon Dino Elyassnia and was seen in court with her husband during Momeni’s initial appearance.
In court documents, Elyassnia is mentioned in reference to a FaceTime call between Momeni and Lee.
The documents indicate that the relationship between Elyassnia and her husband may have been in jeopardy and an anonymous witness was unsure if Lee and Elyassnia had an intimate relationship.
Momeni questioned Lee about his relationship with Elyassnia before the alleged stabbing, and court documents say Lee visited Elyassnia’s Millennium Tower apartment the night he was killed.
The shocking murder of Bob Lee and the involvement of another tech entrepreneur has sent shockwaves through the tech world. Many wonder how such a tragedy could have happened between colleagues and peers.
The case also raises important questions about the pressures and risks associated with success in the tech industry.
As the industry continues to grow and evolve, it is crucial that leaders and entrepreneurs prioritize the well-being and safety of their colleagues and the community as a whole.
