Bob was a force of nature, according to MobileCoin CEO Joshua Goldbard in a statement. Aided in the introduction of CashApp and Android to the world. A wallet that protected his privacy for the twenty-first century, Moby was his ideal. Every day I shall miss him.
Lee’s passing leaves the tech sector and everyone who knew him with a great loss. Future generations of entrepreneurs and inventors will continue to draw inspiration from his legacy as his contributions to the financial and technological worlds are remembered for years.
