Murder or Poetic Justice? Bob Lee's death raises more questions than answers as new information exposes dark truths about the Cash App co-founder's lifestyle.
When the tech executive was stabbed to death in April, his name rang through various social media platforms as many wondered why the businessman was targeted. However, what seemed like a tragic random incident might have been a crime of passion.
The original narrative stated that the suspected killer attacked the deceased following a heated altercation. Contrary to these reports, sources close to the late entrepreneur painted the incident as a vengeful iniquity-filled drama.
Bob Lee's Death Was Allegedly Caused By Engaging With The Wrong Crowd & Women
Before his death, the former Google employee was a man who enjoyed the darker side of life. According to tales the Wall Street Journal shared, the 43-year-old was part of a scandalous tech circle known as "The Lifestyle."
The underground group allegedly consists of opulent members with depraved desires and a penchant for cheating. These individuals blissfully engaged in various sins, from drug-fueled parties to casual sexual encounters.
According to Lee's friends, the St. Louis native was once the epitome of good before transitioning into a shadow of himself. The corruption occurred months before the entrepreneur's death, a change his pals blamed on The Lifestyle events he attended.
Dana Wagner, a pal, claimed the tech mogul was "hanging out with people who weren't great, and that was part of what happened in the end. There are a lot of swingers, cheaters, and liars in that crowd."
The former Square employee's statements matched another tech personality Devon Meyers' description of the nightlife crowd. According to the deceased's friend, the group was filled with "highly functioning, knowledgeable people, incredibly talented, and there's not much in our world for them to do."
As a talented, successful, and single man — he was separated from his wife Krista Lee — Lee reportedly satisfied his urges with multiple women, including those connected to Nima Momeni, the man accused of killing him. Before his death, the father-of-two allegedly told his friends he was sleeping with Khazar Momeni, Nima's sister.
The suspected murderer's married sister frequently attended the debauched parties and got intimate with the deceased. During one of such late-night events on April 3 — a day before the Cash Founder was brutally stabbed — Nima confronted Lee about his relationship with Khazar.
An eyewitness claimed the former chief product officer of MobileCoin diffused the situation by assuring the alleged killer that "nothing inappropriate had happened." However, the older Momeni was not convinced as he was spotted at around 2 am on April 4, driving off with the late entrepreneur in the passenger seat of his car.
Nima was presumed to have driven the Cash app co-creator to a secluded area before stabbing him multiple times with a kitchen knife. Nima's suspected crime of passion might have been fueled by his distaste for the tech executive's relationship with the women in his life.
Before his sister's involvement with Lee, the businessman lost one of his lovers to the St. Louis native about three years ago. The woman might have chosen the deceased over her former boyfriend, as multiple partners described Nima as "violent and problematic."
Autopsy Showed The Late Tech Mogul Had Various Substances In His System Before His Demise
Weeks earlier, a record of Lee's autopsy was released by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. The post-mortem examination showed that the former technical architect at AT&T had ingested several drugs before his murder.
The findings — which seem to tally with recent revelations about his dark lifestyle — showed that the software engineer had cocaethylene in his body, a compound created from alcohol and cocaine. The metabolized byproducts of cocaine and ketamine, alongside traces of the allergy medication cetirizine, were also found.
Although the presence of these substances was alarming, the report by Dr. Ellen Moffatt proved the businessman died from other factors. According to the assistant medical examiner, Lee died from the multiple stab wounds he received.
The medical practitioner stated that the Jolt Award winner's "manner and method of death was homicide by sharp injury." The tech mogul died from three knife wounds, two to the chest and one to his hip.
The report noted that one of the chest wounds was about two to three inches deep, "piercing the right lateral anterior inferior ventricle of the heart," while the other injury affected "the right posterior lateral inferior ventricle."
