The man accused of fatally stabbing tech executive Bob Lee last month has pleaded not guilty to murder in a San Francisco court
Nima Momeni will be held in custody without bail, the judge said. Lee, a 43-year-old who cofounded the mobile payment service provider Cash App, was stabbed to death in the Rincon Hill neighborhood in the predawn hours of April 4. An autopsy report shows he suffered knife wounds that pierced his heart and lung. Authorities have said Lee and Momeni knew each other and were in a white BMW shortly before the stabbing at about 2 a.m.
He later joined MobileCoin, a cryptocurrency and digital payments startup, in 2021 as its chief product officer. Momeni has been the owner of an IT business, California Secretary of State records indicate. He has been held without bail since his arrest last month. Prosecutors reliant on security video Motion-to-detain documents and surveillance footage from the DA’s office last month laid out what authorities say preceded the stabbing.
