New reports have emerged that Cash App founder Bob Lee was having an affair with the sister of his alleged killer, Nima Momeni.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Lee and Khazar Momeni, who is married to a well-known San Francisco plastic surgeon, were part of the same underground party circle known as “The Lifestyle” and were casually sleeping together.
The Journal’s report cites friends of Lee who say that the affair was well-known within the group and that it had caused tension between Lee and Nima Momeni.
Nima Momeni is currently in jail on murder charges in the fatal stabbing of Lee last month. Prosecutors have alleged that Momeni confronted Lee about his sister on the night of the stabbing and that the two men got into an argument that led to the killing.
Momeni’s lawyer has disputed the allegations of an affair, saying that his client was simply trying to protect his sister from Lee.
The new reports of an affair between Lee and Khazar Momeni add a new layer of complexity to the case. It is unclear whether the affair played a role in the killing, but it is certainly something that prosecutors will be looking into as they prepare for trial.
The case has drawn national attention, as Lee was a well-known figure in the tech industry. Cash App is a popular mobile payment app that has been used by millions of people around the world.
The trial for Nima Momeni is scheduled to begin in September.
