“ Friends of Mr. Lee said he told them that he was casually sleeping with Ms. Momeni, 37. Before that, about three years ago, Mr. Lee, 43, was together with a woman that Mr. Momeni, 38, also had dated, according to people familiar with the relationships. ”

“ He ( Bob) was also hanging out with people who weren’t great people, and that was part of what happened in the end,” said Mr. Wagner, who says he didn’t know the Momenis. “There are a lot of swingers, cheaters and liars in that crowd,” he said.

“ his two teenage children, Dagny and Scout, named after characters in “Atlas Shrugged” and “To Kill A Mockingbird.”

“ Mr. Lee was generous with friends. He frequently offered to pay for meals and Ubers and fund charities or business ventures. He bought a Tesla for a woman he was seeing, Mr. Wagner said. One of his former girlfriends said Mr. Lee once treated friends to a trip to Tulum, Mexico, on a whim, covering all the costs. When the girlfriend’s iPhone was stolen during the trip, Mr. Lee hired someone to secure a new one for her, she added. ”




Wow, this story gets stranger and stranger. As Bob’s kids are teens it is unlikely that they will be shielded from this and that is very very unfortunate.


One of his kids is named after an atlas shrugged character - that’s mega cringe so they probably already sense their dad was odd

Perhaps an "awful, unintended tragedy," but not unpredictable that something bad was going to happen, given that soul-sucking lifestyle.

Tldr:

Bob was naive flyover kid that was really good at programming

He loved drugs and sex

SF has a scene to cater to this

Nima was an unsuccessful dorky Persian trying to be like Bob

Nima’s sister is a thot who Bob was banging casually on the side

nim’s sister’s husband is a cuck

What a mess. When they say you shouldn’t stereotype people, but everyone in this story behaves just like their stereotypes!

Sorry, I’m a naive flyover kid too but by the time you are 40 and have kids that excuse doesn’t fly.

Sure when your IPO makes it rain and you are childless, hit the Lifestyle. WTF was he doing with two kids living like this?

I'm not surprised by any of this, the subtext was already pretty clear. He was hanging out with these dissolute types not spending time with his kids while in town. He moved away from them to Miami, another party scene, and he and his RETIRED WIDOWED FATHER kept referring to their "bachelor lifestyle." It's tawdry, sad, not uncommon in that industry and very Peter Pan. His ex-wife probably thought he'd grow up. Very sad for his kids who will likely feel that they were not worthy of their father's love and attention.

His death is tragic but so was how he was choosing to live, kwim?

I feel bad for "Mrs. Crazy Bob" and the kids for this coming out on Mother's Day of all times.

What a wasted life. Coming up with an app that aids criminals in money laundering and then this as an end. With walking away from young kids and trying WAY too hard to chase the dragon in between.

Soulless and lost.

The high school pics of Khazar and her brother show how surgery really chamged her face.

I think we forgot that angle.

I am still perplexed by Momeni motive, anger about his sister or what not doesn’t really explain the premeditated nature of this murder. Finding a kitchen knife, stashing it and driving away, that is deliberate

I do wonder if someone wanted Bob silenced, and his Lifestyle offered a good cover.

Possibly but more likely a personal reason because of the method. It would have been easier to give him drugs laced with fatal dose of fentanyl.
