his former tech entrepreneur boss after stealing about $400,000 from him was sentenced Tuesday to 40 years to life in prison, Manhattan’s district attorney said.

Tyrese Haspil, 25, was found guilty in June of *******, grand larceny and other charges in the 2020 ****** of his former boss, Fahim Saleh.

Prosecutors said Haspil had been hired as an assistant for Saleh, whose ventures included a ride-hailing motorcycle startup in Nigeria, but quickly began to siphon money from Saleh’s businesses. Haspil resigned a year later but continued to steal money, even after Saleh discovered the theft and let Haspil repay him over two years to avoid ********* prosecution.

On July 13, 2020, Haspil, wearing a ****** suit and a mask, followed Saleh into the elevator of his luxury apartment building in Manhattan and shocked him in the back with a Taser when the elevator doors opened into Saleh’s apartment.

Even after the defendant stole from him to fund a lavish lifestyle, Mr. Saleh still gave him a second chance,” Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said in a statement. “While today’s sentence won’t bring Mr. Saleh back, I hope it provides his family a sense of closure as they continue to mourn his painful loss.”
