But now, there were many new questions.

How did Bob know Nima?

Why was he hanging out with him at 2 in the morning?

All of us were just like, who?

Who is this guy?

These questions opened a window into a subculture that Bob inhabited, a realm of casual sex, recreational drug use, and hard partying.

I started to piece things together and started kind of wondering, Millennium apartment, oh wait, I picked up Bob from some chick's apartment at the Millennium Tower once.

The story that emerged after Momeni was charged was far more complicated than the initial speculation.

On the next episode, who is the supposed tech executive, Nima Momeni?

Why would he want to kill Bob Lee?

And what was the cost of pushing a narrative that was so off the mark?

That's next time on Foundry.

Foundering is reported, hosted, and executive produced by me, Sean Nguyen.
