Very strange title, given that it's not at all verified by the contents of the article. I guess I'll have to flag this one, maybe if it's verified someone can provide a different source for the submission?

Edit: looks legit based on other new comments.

Jack Dorsey is corroborating it on nostr npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m

How does one navigate this? And why is Jack not posting this on Twtr?

Jack is posting it on nostr.

Mobilecoin, where he is CTO, confirmed it

> Joshua Goldbard, the CEO of MobileCoin sent the following statement to ABC7 News: "Bob was a force of nature. Helped to birth Android and CashApp into our world. Moby was his dream: a privacy protecting wallet for the 21st Century. I will miss him every day."

The shameless plug for "Moby" does bother me.

Sad day for the community.

Jesus that plug. Have some class.

That is terrible, how tasteless

It’s corroborated by one of his friends on Twitter and you can also see an Open Graph image from the article before it removed his name: https://twitter.com/jakeshieldsajj/status/164344881917319577...

Someone else confirmed it in the comments below.

Still, though, these comments here are an absolute dumpster fire, and until there is more information, I don't think stories like this produce any sort of insightful/curious discussion, so thanks for flagging.

It was verified in the comments but the only source was a tweet which has since been deleted. I want to assume people are telling the truth but I could see this being one of those "pranks" where we find out what people are willing to believe without proof.

I saw the tweet before it was deleted, and if you search for crazybob on Twitter you can find other tweets by users who clearly knew him that he died.
