Tech consultant to stand trial for murder of Cash App founder after failing to get charges reduced

  • Tech consultant Nima Momeni will stand trial for the murder of Bob Lee, founder of Cash App, after failing to get the charges reduced.
  • Prosecutors allege Momeni planned the attack following a dispute related to his sister's involvement with Lee.
  • Video evidence shows Momeni driving Lee before the incident, and forensic evidence links Momeni's DNA to the alleged murder weapon.
  • The defense questioned the handling of evidence and argued for a manslaughter charge, but the judge ruled Momeni will face a jury trial for murder.
  • Lee was a prominent San Francisco tech executive who served as chief product officer at MobileCoin at the time of his death.
