Cash App Founder "Cashes Out" in Unfortunate San Francisco Stabbing
In a tragic turn of events that even Shakespeare couldn't have penned, tech executive Bob Lee, founder of Cash App and former CTO of Square, was fatally stabbed near downtown San Francisco. Despite his success in the world of mobile payment services, it appears that his luck has finally "cashed out."
The San Francisco Police Department reports that officers responded to a stabbing around 2:35 a.m. Tuesday morning. In a modern-day Greek tragedy, the 43-year-old entrepreneur was found unresponsive and later pronounced dead at the scene.
Experts are baffled as to why Lee, who made his fortune by allowing people to send and receive money seamlessly through a mobile app, was unable to use his own creation to literally pay his way out of the fatal altercation. One may wonder if his untimely demise is a cruel twist of fate or a sick cosmic joke at the expense of the Cash App founder.
"The irony in this situation is just too much," said Detective Chris Murmur, running his fingers through his hair. "You have a man who was a pioneer in digital transactions, yet he couldn't swipe his way out of this one. Life really comes at you fast - one moment you're swimming in cash, and the next you're dead in an alley."
Adding further insult to injury, those mourning Lee's death are voicing their concerns over the lack of a mobile app to administer condolences in the form of funeral flowers and casserole deliveries.
"If only there was an app for funeral planning," muttered a family member, who wished to remain anonymous. "The irony would be more palatable if we could send a condolence bouquet with just the click of a button."
A Bob Lee Memorial Dumb Irony Fund has been established for those who wish to donate to the grief-stricken family who isn't sure how else to react but to laugh at how ironic this whole thing is.
No arrest has been made in connection to the stabbing thus far, but investigators are considering the possibility of the killer having a vendetta against mobile payment service tycoons, while others believe it's just a really bad case of FOMO.
The tech industry mourns the loss of a man who made it possible to send that one friend who always forgets their wallet twenty bucks with just a few taps on a screen. As a tribute, Cash App users worldwide promise to ignore unscheduled push notifications for mobile payment requests for the rest of the week.
Farewell, Bob Lee. This cruel, non-refundable world shall miss you.
