SAN FRANCISCO -- A man stabbed to death early Tuesday morning near downtown San Francisco was well-known tech executive Bob Lee, founder of Cash App and the former chief technology officer of Square, sources told KPIX.

Officers responded at about 2:35 a.m. to a report of a stabbing in the 300 block of Main Street in the city's Rincon Hill neighborhood and arrived to find the victim, who was taken to a hospital and succumbed to his injuries there, police said.

The city's medical examiner's office had not yet identified the victim as of Tuesday evening, but friends of Lee told KPIX he was the victim. The 43-year-old Lee was the Chief Product Officer of San Francisco-based cryptocurrency startup MobileCoin.

"Bob was a force of nature," MobileCoin CEO Joshua Goldbard said in a statement to KPIX. "He helped to birth Android and CashApp into our world. Moby was his dream: a privacy protecting wallet for the 21st century. I will miss him every day."

"Bob was a dad, the former CTO of Square where he created Cash App & CTO of Mobile Coin. He was a generous decent human being who didn't deserve to be killed," wrote Bill Barhydt, CEO of Abra, on Twitter.

that ain't even a damn cuz of Cash App.

just sounds tragic. like, unless it was some weird targeted thing, i'm guessing it was just a robbery or something.

Is downtown San Francisco rough around the edges, or did dude have enemies?

Edit: Haven't been to San Francisco in almost 25 years.

i'm guessing he lived in one.

finally he learned to not leave ANYTHING in his car.

Then he fried a turkey for thanksgiving and someone stole his fryer while the grease was still hot.

Another friend is a preacher (blessed with free rent) and said the homeless situation was ridiculous and housing prices was creating a whole new generation of working homeless.

but he did say he loved the weather and the city was nice but the crime was high!!

>Then he fried a turkey for thanksgiving and someone stole his
>fryer while the grease was still hot.

he was hotter than fish grease!!!

not sure if that's what happened in this case but, i was shocked to see
how bad it was in san francisco and seattle. oakland i'm hearing is the worst.

It's rough. Fuck, Sac is rough. They gotta do something about housing, shit's ridiculous out in Cali.

> a whole new generation of working homeless.


ol' get up at the crack of dawn, roll your sleeves up, work two jobs ass homeless

she was telling me recently about the window smashing. She said they will smash your windows and take everything inside the car that isn’t somehow restrained…in broad ass daylight as well as at night.

I'm sure his family and friends are doing some actual grieving and are rightly unavailable for comment. But "Moby was his dream: a privacy protecting wallet for the 21st century" is pretty grim and doesn't add much to the piece.

dude couldn't resist advertising in his statement to the press

if that doesn't embody the soulless cutthroat techbro culture I don't know what does

...CEO of Abra?

and drug addicts.

It’s disturbing how expensive San Francisco is, but at the same time you have to
navigate and trek through environments where there are heroin needles and
prescription bottles everywhere.

I’m not surprised by this at all.

are you gonna tell me philly is a dirty city because of kensington?

lived there 5 years

I used to send kids home for littering at afterschool program. Went to tell a parent her kid would be suspended for a day because she littered on a field trip. Her mom pulled up and threw an empty bag of chips out her car window in Old Town.

It was fascinating to watch.

i feel like that's the question.

it's subjective, no?

I wouldn’t generalize a city I never lived in tho

that’s a bit lazy.

neely fuller, jr. teaches us that 'fair' is too easily misconstrued w/ 'white' in many situation.

you are correct.

back in 2015, and I wasn’t impressed at all, and I lived in New York for 6 years
and I was born and raised in Chicago…

Chicago is a clean city... New York being dirty has always been
overrated, because their main problem was more trash related because they have no
alleys

But San Fran just felt grimy and I was shocked by the amount of homeless people
on the streets…and for how expensive it is to live there? No way.

And then there is this:


“San Francisco's streets are so filthy that at least one infectious disease expert has compared the city to some of the dirtiest slums in the world.”

"It’s disturbing how expensive San Francisco is, but at the same time you have to

SF is pretty grimey, but feels like people are grabbing onto a narrative w/o facts at this point. Like the immediate jump is to 'homeless' or 'roving criminals'. Highly possible, but also I'm gonna chill til i have more info.

RIP to him.

but it could definitely be some payback shit

prolly fucked over a tech or a silent investor.

I’m just making shit up.. lol

but w/the info we have right now your scenarios are just as informed as any other theory, even if they're totally made up.

Maybe his escort wasn't happy with the restaurant choice.

just out and about sounds kinda strange. and if he had some people with him, how did that situation play out? lots of questions

I think it’s the highest millionaires per capita of any other region

They are unassuming too with their tech bro fleeces. You would think they’re just another developer posted up at the coffee shop.

They were trying to make it pop pre-Covid. Lots of new luxury condos and cushy office buildings. Everyone works from home now so it's a ghost town. Especially after dark.

Dude was an extremely influential engineer, I didn't expect to see him go out like this.

Which has similar functions to Cashapp but with more gov't control?

Oh.

He called 911 from his mobile after it happened. He also approached a car for help but the driver drove off...

but it's super bizarre, and the attack itself doesn't seem to have occurred on camera or you'd think we would've heard already.

so wtf happened?

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

I’m just typing…

i'm not very conspiracy oriented but...

about a dude you probably didn't think about a lot until he died?

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

there's nothing about this to tip it in any particular direction

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

the area it happened seems like a place that is camera rich, but the only stuff that has hit the media is the guy basically dying and asking for help.

like, even if somehow no camera caught the incident, you'd think they'd catch the perp making an escape, etc.

maybe i'm wrong. maybe the cops are keeping everything close to the vest.

shit just seems a little weird.

you gotta stay off social media that shit isn't good for you.

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

the only reason this even came up at all is because a bunch of billionaires want to blame it on the former DA


www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

and these folks aren’t famous.

You are one dumb muthafucka to ask such a dumb ass question.

we don’t have to know Shanquella Robinson to care about her murder

gotdam. you are dumb.. sounding mad jealous too.

so now you gotta be mad at me for whatever you're making up

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

with all the dudes who've been deep in the crypto/digital currency game who've died lately, some of them pretty mysteriously?

again, i tend to lean towards common sense explanations, and it's PROBABLY all coincidental at the end of the day, but some of it IS peculiar at minimum.

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

you gotta stop making assumptions.

also, see my edit of my previous reply if that helps.

I'm aware of the various deaths, and a whole lot more that haven't been remarked on at all

I haven't personally seen anything that I can put together in a sort of pattern, and everyone I've seen who has, does it by just dropping out the parts of the picture that don't fit


if you reframe these guys not as crypto execs, but shady money launderers working in shady businesses with a lifestyle that shows they don't do a great job of assessing risk or human interactions, it all seems to line up.

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

coulda just posted that shit and stfu

especially since his snark is rusty as hell lately.

snark?

tf?

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

then cops keeping it close to the vest bc they probably knew pretty quickly who it was, would explain it

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

this dude was murdered..

yall niggas getting lazy with your troll game.

since you've apparently been alive for literally five seconds

but people you don't know get murdered like all the time

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

about the details?

I know you don't have a brain in your fuckin head

I said I don't know why you'd jump to a conspiracy theory


there is space between that and not caring at all

"Mission Local has learned that San Francisco police this morning traveled to Emeryville to make an arrest in the April 4 killing of tech exec Bob Lee.
The alleged killer also works in tech and purportedly knew Lee."

https://missionlocal.org/2023/04/bob-lee-killing-arrest-made-san-francisco/

"Mission Local is informed that the San Francisco Police Department early this morning made an arrest in the April 4 killing of tech executive Bob Lee, following an operation undertaken outside the city’s borders. The alleged killer also works in tech and is a man Lee purportedly knew.

We are told that police today were dispatched to Emeryville with a warrant to arrest a man named Nima Momeni. The name and Emeryville address SFPD officers traveled to correspond with this man, the owner of a company called Expand IT.

Multiple police sources have described the predawn knifing that last week left the 43-year-old Lee dead in a deserted section of downtown San Francisco as neither a robbery attempt nor a random attack.

Rather, Lee and Momeni were portrayed by police as being familiar with one another. In the wee hours of April 4, they were purportedly driving together through downtown San Francisco in a car registered to the suspect.

Some manner of confrontation allegedly commenced while both men were in the vehicle, and potentially continued after Lee exited the car. Police allege that Momeni stabbed Lee multiple times with a knife that was recovered not far from the spot on the 300 block of Main Street to which officers initially responded."


we'll see

stabbing a man is some real personal shit

and gotdamn these techies are some savages.

i think homeless crazy person.

not even gang members stab each other anymore outside of prison.

tech bros stabbing each other was never on the bingo card.

and got hit up randomly didnt quite add up

Whether some workplace drama or personal

Who knows this early

for selling a switch-blade. we got knife-fighting tech bros now? too much assassin's creed?

also how do you get arrested in a city where you can sell heroin in front of police for selling a knife?

I see what's up.

If that ain't telling you something....

Maybe it' wasn't SF crime haven that caused it, but rather tech lefty promiscuous drugs and sex lifestyles.

ok, whatever.

they'll always find something.

just rich folks doing the same shit poor folks do

have a party, do drugs and try to have sex with whoever is at the party.

niggas just in VIP snorting lines and “hooking up” (as the white kids said in college).

I mean, wouldn't one of the first things we'd all do, is buy some (booze, weed, coke, molly, cigars - poison of your choice) and either hit the club, strip club, call up some freaks and celebrate?

They make it all seem so tawdry, but honestly, it's pretty common.

Or maybe I'm just a deviant too.

*shrug*

imagine getting a a few billions

man listen.. lol

Get on their level.

lol

Iono if I can HANDLE their level.

SF is their go to "this is what happens when you go ultra woke leftist"

Fortunately for them, the killer was an immigrant so I suppose they still feel rather smug all the same.
