I just got devastating news that our friend Bob Lee (@crazybob) was killed in SF early today.

Bob was a dad, the former CTO of Square where he created Cash App & CTO of Mobile Coin. He was a generous decent human being who didn’t deserve to be killed.https://t.co/RnzA1Idpun

Was scheduled to work on @mobilecoin with you tomorrow AM @crazybob. You always believed in me, I’ll be forever grateful.

Committed to seeing this project for as long as the Team will have me, to the very end.
