Cash App boss Bob Lee 'threw money around like confetti' and 'always had gorgeous women around him' as part of 'The Lifestyle' before he was stabbed to death on San Francisco street
- A woman in Bob Lee's party scene said he 'threw money around like confetti'
- Another, a male tech executive, said 'a lot of gorgeous women liked him a lot'
Acquaintances of murdered Cash App founder Bob Lee have said he 'threw money around like confetti' and 'always had gorgeous women around him'.
The comments were made by those claiming to be a part of 'The Lifestyle' - a San Francisco swingers scene in which Lee was allegedly immersed before his death.
'It only took one look to know that he was rich and powerful,' one member, who went by Meg, told The Messenger. 'He threw money around like confetti.'
Another member, who was identified only as a male tech executive, told the publication that Lee always had women around him and that 'a lot of gorgeous women liked him a lot'.
Bob Lee, 43, was stabbed to death with a kitchen knife in the early hours of April 3. Prosecutors have charged Nima Momeni, 38, with the killing - he is a brother of Khazar Elyassnia, 37, who was with Lee the day he died and involved in the parties.

'It's all anyone is talking about,' said Meg, who supposedly proved she was part of the scene by sharing group texts and social media messages with The Messenger.
'He was known, and really everyone seemed to like him very much,' she added. 'So for this to happen... it really blows my mind.'
'It's a vibe,' the person claiming to be a tech executive told the publication. 'It's not like there's a membership list. It's casual.'
'It's all about open relationships, sexual freedom and not a lot of judgment,' he added. 'It sounds shocking to some people, but it's really not. It's just a lot of warm people who are enjoying their lives.'
The details of the exclusive San Francisco social scene were first revealed by The Wall Street Journal.
Lee and the suspect's sister were part of the crowd of affluent partygoers who attended debauched events where swingers and cheaters would gather for drug-fueled sex.
Speaking to a series of insiders who knew Lee and partied among members, the Journal painted a picture of the scene.
Lee, who was known for being creative, adventurous and loyal to his friends, started to change in the months before his death. He was allegedly 'getting in over his head' due to 'The Lifestyle' circles he was involved with.

Last week nine new surveillance images were released showing Lee and Momeni together shortly before he was stabbed.
Those images show the father-of-two and his alleged killer at the Millennium Tower, where Elyassnia lives.
Lee and Elyassnia, who is married to a prominent local plastic surgeon, were reportedly having an affair and had been partying together on the night of his murder.
The first image in the timeline, obtained by NBC Bay Area, shows Lee arriving at Elyassnia's building - entering the lobby at 12:39am.
A second image shows Lee and Momemi inside an elevator in the building about an hour and a half later and a third image depicts them leaving the elevator in the tower's garage and walking to a white convertible BMW.
Lee and Momeni are then seen getting into the car in a fourth surveillance image.
In the next surveillance image, Lee appears alone walking up Main Street, near where police say the murder happened.
The final image shows Lee near a white Toyota Sedan he had reportedly tried to flag down before he collapsed.

During a court appearance, Momemi disagreed with his own attorney Paula Canny about the date for his preliminary hearing, with the suspect wanting the earliest possible date, NBC Bay Area reported.
Prosecutors are expected to release new details of their investigation during the preliminary hearing, set for May 30, when a judge will decide if there is enough evidence for the murder case to go to trial.
Momemi's lawyer revealed in court last week that he is not a US citizen and was at risk of being deported back to Iran.
Lee's stabbing death on April 4 was originally thought to have been the result of random violence in the crime-ridden city of San Francisco.
