A man who was fatally stabbed early Tuesday in San Francisco’s Rincon Hill neighborhood has been identified by his employer as Bob Lee, creator of the CashApp payment service and an executive at MobileCoin.
Police said a 43-year-old man was attacked at 2:35 a.m. in the 300 block of Main Street, near Folsom Street. He was taken to a hospital and died there.
His name was not released by the police, but San Francisco news outlets cited unidentified sources as saying the victim was Lee, and MobileCoin CEO Josh Goldbard confirmed that in a statement.
Lee had been chief product officer at MobileCoin, a cryptocurrency and digital payments startup, since 2021. Previous posts included chief technology officer at Square — where he created CashApp, originally known as Square Cash — and software engineer at Google. He also invested in and advised numerous startups.
No arrest has been made in the case, and police have not released any information about a suspect.
