In April 2023, Cash App founder and tech executive Bob Lee was stabbed to death in San Francisco after a night out involving elite social circles and party drugs. Authorities quickly zeroed in on Nima Momeni, a tech entrepreneur whose sister, Kazar, had been partying with Bob and a drug dealer named Jeremy Boyven earlier that evening. According to prosecutors, Nima confronted and killed Bob because he blamed him for introducing Kazar to Boyven, who allegedly sexually assaulted her. Nima claimed self-defense during his trial, arguing that Bob pulled a knife on him first, but a jury convicted him of second-degree murder in late 2024 amid damning DNA and video evidence.

Investigators focused on Nima Momeni after surveillance showed Lee leaving his sister Khazar’s apartment with him before the two stopped near the Bay Bridge, where Lee was fatally stabbed. Prosecutors argued Momeni killed Lee over anger surrounding his sister’s alleged drugging and sexual assault, while Momeni claimed he acted in self-defense after Lee attacked him with a knife.
