Nima Momeni was sentenced in San Francisco on November 10, 2026, to 16 years to life in prison for the 2023 stabbing death of Cash App founder Bob Lee, after a jury convicted him of second-degree murder in December 2024. Prosecutors argued Momeni drove Lee to a secluded spot under the Bay Bridge and stabbed him three times, including in the heart, over an alleged assault on Momeni's sister by a drug dealer Lee had introduced; the jury rejected self-defense and declined a first-degree murder charge. Judge Alexandra Gordon denied a retrial motion, and the defense plans to appeal. Lee, 43, was a former Square CTO and MobileCoin chief product officer, and his killing drew widespread attention to San Francisco crime and safety. The case's resolution closes a high-profile chapter for the fintech community, with the pending appeal the next item to watch.
