Bob Lee was an extraordinarily talented product officer and a respected member of the MobileCoin team. His death is a tremendous loss for the company and the cryptocurrency community as a whole.
As it turns out, the individual who was stabbed to death on Sunday is 43-year-old Bob Lee. MobileCoin confirmed the information in a statement sent to Bloomberg and ABC7 News. It is still unknown what led up to the stabbing, but investigators do believe that it had nothing to do with Bitcoin or cryptocurrency.
Bob Lee likely brings a wealth of expertise to MobileCoin and his experience with Android and Square will help the company to continue its growth trajectory. He is also considering Cash App, which could give MobileCoin an edge in the mobile payment market.
Bob Lee, also known as ‘Crazy Bob’, is an investor in some of the most innovative companies out there. He has invested in SpaceX, Clubhouse, Tile, Figma, Faire, Orchid, Addressable, Nana, Ticket Fairy, Gowalla and Asha. The investments have all paid off; his portfolio companies have raised billions of dollars in funding and are leading the way in their respective industries. With such a successful track record it is no wonder that he has been called ‘the Silicon Valley miracle man’ by Forbes magazine.
There is a sadness in the tech community following the news of Bob Dorsey, co-founder and CEO of Square and Cash App, death at age 69. As someone who was instrumental to both companies, his loss is felt by many in the industry. Jack Dorsey wrote on Twitter that “Bob was an STL guy” and called him a “meaningful part of our industry’s history.”
Bob was a beloved figure in the design community, and his passing marks a devastating loss for the industry. He was always willing to help out other designers, and his enthusiasm for tech and programming was infectious. His influence will be felt long after he’s gone.
Since the release of Java in 1995, programming enthusiasts everywhere have known and loved Bob’s code. This famously clever java program churns through a range of solutions to mathematical problems, often finding improved solutions that are faster than those generated by other programs. The reason for this impressive speed advantage is still unknown, but it has made Bob’s code one of the most popular languages for solving optimization challenges.
Investigators are not sure who the possible suspects may be, and they are still looking into any potential leads. So far, there has been no word of any arrests being made in this case.
