Lawyer slams Cash App founder Bob Lee’s drug use as hearing delayed again

Cash App founder Bob Lee had “pretty much every recreational illegal drug” in his system, the attorney for alleged killer Nima Momeni railed Tuesday — just hours after a toxicology report revealed signs of cocaine and ketamine in tech boss’s system.

“It was like drugs 101,” Paula Canny told The Post after Momeni’s court appearance in San Francisco. “There was a lot of drugs in his system and all illegal.”

Momeni, 38, strutted into the courtroom and smiled in the courtroom when he spotted one of his only relatives in the gallery — his mother.

The arraignment for the accused murderer was delayed for a third time amid an influx of new information, including the details of the drugs Lee had in his system.

Canny told The Post the media received the Lee’s death investigation report before she and the prosecution could review the documents.

Momeni was originally expected to enter a not-guilty plea in connection with the April 4 stabbing. He is instead slated to do so May 18, after his attorney told the court new information — namely the autopsy and toxicology reports — would affect how she argued for her client.

Canny said she and her client requested not to enter their plea right away because of a “particular kink” in the California justice system that would affect how the case shakes out.

“I’m going to say not guilty because my client is not guilty,” she said. “But the moment I say those words, I have to decide whether or not I want to do the preliminary hearing within 10 court days or move to 60 calendar days.

“If I give those rights up, there’s no taking that rights back under California law.”

Lee’s ex-wife, Krista Lee, and his brother were among the over family members in court. Krista, who shared two daughters with 43-year-old Lee, thanked reporters for coming as she was escorted out of the courtroom.

Prosecutors have alleged Momeni’s sister, Khazar “Tina” Elyassnia, is at the center of the fatal feud between Lee and Momeni.

Hours before the stabbing, Momeni was said to have confronted Lee about his sister’s alleged drug use and “inappropriate” behavior after Lee spent the day with her and others, cops said.

Lee, formerly an executive at Square, was visiting San Francisco — where he spent most of his career before re-locating to Miami at the end of 2022 — in the days before the attack.

He spent the late afternoon of April 3 at an apartment on Mission Street, where he drank with friends, including Elyassnia, according to prosecutors’ motion to deny bond.

Lee and a friend later left the apartment and went to Lee’s room at the 1 Hotel San Francisco, court documents said.

The friend, identified in the motion as “Witness 1,” told police Lee had a conversation in the hotel room about Momeni picking up his sister from the apartment where they had been.

“Witness 1 said [Momeni] was questioning [Lee] regarding whether his sister was doing drugs or anything inappropriate,” the motion states.

Investigators said they learned Lee and Elyassnia, who is married, had known each other for years. Lee was later found to have had ketamine and cocaine in his system.

Lee allegedly assured Momeni nothing “inappropriate” had happened before he continued his night.

Hours later, Lee left his friend, and was seen entering Elyassnia’s apartment around 12:39 a.m. Surveillance footage also shows Lee and Momeni riding an elevator down to the lobby of Elyassnia’s apartment building shortly after 2 a.m. and climbing into Momeni’s white BMW, the document states.

Video then shows the pair inside the BMW as it arrives to a “dark and secluded area” on Main Street, near where a bloodied Lee was later found. Prosecutors allege that the men both left the car and Momeni stabbed Lee.

Lee was “violently bleeding” when he called 911 shortly after he was stabbed on April 4, when a dispatcher said there was “a male screaming ‘help,’ saying ‘someone stabbed me’ … Advised he is bleeding out. He’s outside on the street.”

He was unconscious and had no pulse by the time medics arrived. Surgeons pronounced him dead at 6:49 a.m., after spending four hours trying to save him, an autopsy report shows.
