    Today: In Sicily, Autonomy cofounder Mike Lynch is missing after a “tornado-like column of air and water” sinks the yacht he rented to celebrate legal victory in a fraud trial. https://www.wsj.com/... In the UK, his co-defendant dies after being hit by a car while jogging. https:…

    Mike Lynch's co-defendant and former colleague died in a separate incident on Saturday after being hit by a car, his lawyer said in an email we have seen.  Police have not confirmed.  —  Mike, and his 18 year old daughter Hannah, are still missing following the sinking of the lux…

    This is the storm the Super Yacht was caught in off Sicily. Mike Lynch, Ex CEO Autonomy, and his 18 year old daughter are among the missing. Chart from Blitzortung, maps from the Independent. [video]

    When @Alicebentinck and I started @join_ef, Mike Lynch was one of the first people to take us seriously and was extremely kind. He came to speak to the first cohort back in 2012 (in our rent-free office up 99 stairs with no lift). Today's news is so sad 😞

    11 survivors from the Bayesian luxury yacht were found in this life raft, now tied up in Porticello Harbour. It's where search & rescue operations resumed this morning, looking for signs of Mike Lynch, his 18 yr old daughter and four other passengers. They include Jonathan [video…

    (i covered HP briefly when they tried to pivot to mobile in 2010/11, fired Leo apotheker, spun off parts of biz and were altogether floundering — Lynch was a fascinating side character whose legal troubles followed him for years) tech history is nuts man

    Mike Lynch may have one of the most insane tech billionaire arcs ever sold his company Automomy to Hewlett Packard for $11 billion —> HP boots ceos and wrote down the acquisition to worthless —> investigated for a decade for cooking books —> acquitted —> missing in sinking yacht …

    This is shocking. Just last month Mike Lynch was dramatically acquitted of a multi-billion pound fraud charge in the US following months of house arrest and years of legal action.

    This was what I have said on air about Mike Lynch today. As I write this, he remains missing. Experts believe there may be bodies trapped on board the sunken Bayesian luxury yacht. The multi-millionaire UK tech boss Mike Lynch has had a rollercoaster career. He was once

    Stephen Chamberlain, Mike Lynch's co-defendant and former Autonomy executive, was hit by a car and killed while out running in Cambridgeshire on Saturday. Chamberlain was acquitted in the US alongside Lynch two months ago Statement from his lawyer Gary Lincenberg: [image]

    I know, coincidences do happen, but ... really? https://www.thesun.co.uk/...
  • @owenjonesjourno Owen Jones on x
    I accept statistically unlikely things happen. We're talking about a yacht hit by a tornado, and a car collision that's not a hit and run. It's still extraordinary that two co-defendants were likely killed in accidents within 48 hours of each other. https://www.theguardian.com/ .…

    Can't quite comprehend what's happened over the last 24 hours - Mike Lynch and his lawyer two of the missing and now his Darktrace cofounder now reported dead.

    Two men acquitted in a fraud trial brought by HP die within two days: one when jogging, one when his superyacht sank.
