Mike Lynch dies when the yacht Bayesian capsized accident

[TheButcher]

I saw this article on BusienssInsider and I am picking my words carefully, accidents do happen.
He had an interesting life and just when things seemed to work out he died along with his lawyer.
You never know what tomorrow brings.



"Mike Lynch won an unexpected jury acquittal after a dramatic 12-year legal saga.
HP accused him of cooking the books of his company Autonomy to make it seem worth billions more.
He finally won — and then he, his lawyer, and his codefendant all died within days."

This is sad her husband Mike Lynch died and now the widow may be liable to HP for $4billion.


"Hewlett Packard Enterprises is not dropping fraud claims against British tech mogul Mike Lynch, who died last month after a luxury yacht sank off the coast of Sicily — and will continue to pursue damages of up to $4 billion from his estate.

In 2022, Britain’s High Court ruled that the information technology company “had substantially succeeded in its civil fraud claims,” according to a statement from the company that was obtained by PEOPLE.

The claims were made against Lynch and Sushovan Hussain, the former chief financial officer of Autonomy, a business software company Lynch founded, which was sold to Hewlett Packard in 2011 for $11 billion.

A damages hearing was held in Feb. 2024 — months before Lynch was acquitted in a separate U.S. trial related to the sale — and HPE said in its statement that the "judge's decision regarding damages" due to the company is expected to be issued "in due course."

“It is HPE’s intention to follow the proceedings through to their conclusion," the statement continued.

Angela Bacares, Lynch's widow — who was rescued after the sinking, which also resulted in the death of the couple's 18-year-old daughter Hannah — could be liable for the damages, per the Associated Press.

A spokesperson for Lynch's family had no comment when contacted by PEOPLE on Tuesday, Sept. 3."

" Lynch was associated with British, American and other intelligence services through his various companies, including the cyber security company he founded, Darktrace.

That company was sold to Chicago-based private equity firm Thoma Bravo in April. Lynch, whose wife’s company Revtom Limited owned the vessel, was also an adviser to British prime ministers David Cameron and Theresa May on science, technology and cyber security during their tenures, according to British government and public Darktrace records.

The sunken vessel, lying on the seabed at a depth of some 50 meters (164 feet), is thought to have watertight safes containing two super-encrypted hard drives that hold highly classified information, including passcodes and other sensitive data, an official involved in the salvage plans, who asked not to be named, told CNN. Specialist divers with remote cameras have searched the boat extensively. "
