New photos have emerged showing Cash App founder Bob Lee’s alleged murderer Nima Momeni smiling behind bars as he awaits trial.
Momeni was ready for his photo-op, with the accused killer nonchalantly posing behind the glass and metal reinforced door of his cell at San Bruno jail in photos obtained by The Post show.
The accused killer, who faces life in prison if convicted of killing the tech mogul, seemed to smooth down his closely cropped hair before striking a crossed-armed pose while smirking and smiling at the camera in his bright orange jumpsuit.
Among his things, a psychology book can be seen in the pics as well as a 2015 biography of Napoleon Bonaparte.
He also seemed to have a few photos and a piece of paper taped to his wall, alongside another stacks of books in the photos, which were taken in August.
Momeni has been accused of stabbing Lee to death with a kitchen knife under the Bay Bridge in San Francisco in early April after arguing with him about his sister, Khazar Elyassnia.

The accused killer appeared laid back while waiting for trial. Paul Kuroda/ZUMA PressLee, 43, was transported to a hospital where he later died after being found unresponsive and bleeding badly.
Momeni was arrested 11 days later and has since been denied bail, as his family members have called him a “lunatic and psychotic” and prosecutors warned the court that he was dangerous to the public.
Momeni has been housed in a solitary cell for the past seven months as he awaits trial. Outside of his lawyers, his mother has been the only one to visit him, according to the San Francisco Standard.
Prosecutors have alleged Momeni was upset because the tech executive had encouraged Elyassnia – arrested for a DUI earlier this week – to do “inappropriate” things.

Prosecutors have alleged that Momeni was upset because the tech executive had encouraged his sister Khazar Momeni — who was recently arrested for a DUI — to do “inappropriate” things. David G. McIntyreLee was found with cocaine and ketamine in his system and it was subsequently revealed he had frequented drug and sex parties with Momeni’s sister, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Elyassnia had texted Lee around the time he was being murdered, allegedly saying: “Just wanted to make sure your doing ok Cause I know nima came wayyyyyy down hard on you.”
Police do not suspect she was involved in the killing.
The men were spotted leaving Millennium Tower — where his sister lives with her plastic surgeon husband — in surveillance footage shortly before Lee was killed.
Momeni is expected back in court on Thursday. His trial date has yet to be set.
