Nima Momeni, convicted of second-degree murder in the 2023 stabbing death of Cash App founder Bob Lee, was sentenced to 16 years to life in prison. The jury rejected Momeni's self-defense claim, and he has been in custody since his arrest nine days after the April 4, 2023, killing. Momeni's attorneys plan to appeal the sentence. Lee, 43, was found on a deserted street, bleeding and calling for help, before dying at a hospital. Prosecutors argued that Momeni planned the attack, while Momeni claimed Lee attacked him with a knife. Lee, a tech mogul, created Cash App and was the chief product officer of the cryptocurrency MobileCoin at the time of his death.
