<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">I just got devastating news that our friend Bob Lee (<a href="https://twitter.com/crazybob?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@crazybob</a> ) was killed in SF early today.</p>
<p>Bob was a dad, the former CTO of Square where he created Cash App &amp; CTO of Mobile Coin.  He was a generous decent human being who didn’t deserve to be killed.<a href="https://t.co/RnzA1Idpun" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://t.co/RnzA1Idpun</a></p>

<p>Jack Dorsey also confirmed the news of Lee&#8217;s passing on the decentralized social media platform Nostr. A screenshot of Dorsey&#8217;s post reads, &#8220;It&#8217;s real. Getting calls. Heartbreaking.&#8221;</p>
<p>During the development and launch of Square Cash in 2013, Lee served as the Chief Technology Officer at Square, which has since rebranded as Block. Today, the peer-to-peer payment app is known as Cash App and boasts tens of millions of users in both the United States and the United Kingdom.</p>
<p>From 2004 to 2010, Lee worked as a software engineer at Google, where he led the development of the core libraries for the Android mobile operating system. Additionally, he created the Google Guice framework.</p>
