‘The Lifestyle’: Drugs and Sex Elite Underground Parties Behind Cash-App Founder Bob Lee’s Murder - Suspected Killer Is the Brother of His Alleged Lover
Cash App founder Bob Lee screamed in agony at the 911 operator: 'Help, someone stabbed me'. Then he stumbled through the streets of San Francisco begging for help before collapsing near the Bay Bridge.
It could have been just another random tragedy in lawless Frisco Bay, but the autopsy found traces of ketamine and cocaine in his system, and the investigation soon revealed his death to be connected to the underground sex and drug parties scene for San Francisco’s elite.
"Lee’s death was initially believed to be a case of random violence in a city where crime is soaring, but his friends suggested it was instead a result of the Cash App founder’s indulgent lifestyle among the upper echelon of Bay Area society where cocaine and swingers were common.
[…] Known in wealthy circles as 'The Lifestyle', Lee, 43, a father of two, allegedly enjoyed the city’s underground party scene, as did Khazar Momeni, wife of a prominent plastic surgeon and sister of [arrested suspected killer] Nima Momeni.
People familiar with the group said Lee and Khazar, 37, were sleeping together, and many feared he’d fallen into a dangerous lifestyle, surrounding himself with the wrong group of people.
Lee was allegedly confronted by Nima about the hard partying and his sister’s involvement in an argument erupting in the early hours of April 4 when Lee was stabbed multiple times, prosecutors said."
The fist reactions to Lee's murder had suspected the rampant criminality in the city to be the cause of it. Even Elon Musk weighed in on Twitter:
"Very sorry to hear that. Many people I know have been severely assaulted. Violent crime in SF is horrific and even if attackers are caught, they are often released immediately. Is the city taking stronger action to incarcerate repeat violent offenders?"
But police soon found a Khazar Momeni text to Lee, sent right around the time of his slaying:
“Just wanted to make sure your doing ok Cause I know Nima came wayyyyyy down hard on you. And thank you for being such a class man handling it with class. Love you Selfish pricks.”
Friends have since told the media and the authorities that the parties 'appeared to help the tech programmer unwind and connect with other big wigs'.
Aside from the casual drug use, Lee allegedly slept with multiple women at the parties, including Khazar. On April 3, her brother Nima confronted Lee in a House Party, asking if they were 'doing drugs or anything inappropriate'.
Nima was arrested on April 13, and charged with murder. If convicted, he faces 26 years to life in prison.
