Nima Momeni, a 38-year-old tech consultant, faces a murder charge in connection to the fatal stabbing of Lee on April 4 in San Francisco. Prosecutors previously alleged in court documents that Momeni confronted Lee that night about his sister, Khazar, before the stabbing.
According to a witness that evening, Momeni asked Lee if his sister "was doing drugs" or "anything inappropriate." Lee's friends told WSJ that Khazar — who is married — was having an affair with Lee, but the Cash App founder's connection to his suspected killer goes back further:
About three years ago, Lee was dating Momeni's ex-girlfriend, the friends claimed. Keith Kraft, a mutual friend of both Lee and the unnamed woman, told the newspaper she started seeing Lee after splitting up with Momeni. It's unclear how long after the woman broke up with Momeni before she started dating Lee.
Kraft said he recalled Momeni giving him dirty looks when he spent time with the woman, which he thought suggested Momeni was a jealous person: "Look, bro, I'm gay, I'm not a threat to you," Kraft recalled telling Momeni. He added that Momeni may have had "some major insecurities going on."
Kraft did not respond to Insider's request for comment. Afterward, friends familiar with the matter said that Lee started sleeping with Khazar Momeni, who is married to Dino Elyassnia, a well-known San Francisco-based plastic surgeon.
The timeline of their alleged affair is unclear. An attorney for Elyassnia and Khazar did not respond to a request for comment.
