<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>
