Bob Lee, the founder of popular mobile payment app Cash App, was reportedly killed in a stabbing incident in San Francisco on Monday night, according to sources close to the investigation. The 35-year-old was allegedly attacked in the Nob Hill neighborhood and was pronounced dead at the scene. The suspect is still at large, and the motive for the attack remains unknown. A spokesperson for Cash App expressed condolences, describing Lee as “a visionary entrepreneur who changed the way people think about money.” The investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information is urged to come forward.
Lee founded the mobile payment app, formerly known as Square Cash, in 2013 with his brother, Jack Dorsey, who is also the co-founder and CEO of Twitter. The app quickly gained popularity for its simple and easy-to-use interface, allowing users to send and receive money with just a few taps on their mobile smartphone devices.
Since its launch, Cash App has grown to become one of the most widely used mobile payment apps in the United States, with millions of users relying on it for everything from paying bills to buying stocks and cryptocurrency.
