Note to Self... Do not fuck around with HP...
Mike Lynch, his wife Angela Bacares, daughter Hannah and 19 guests were on the Bayesian superyacht for a "victory" trip celebrating Lynch clearing his name after a lengthy legal battle that saw him extradited to the United States last year to stand trial on fraud charges related to the $11 billion sale of Autonomy, to Hewlett Packard.
After HP took an $8.8 billion haircut on the value of the company within a year, Lynch was accused of conspiring to inflate its value and wire fraud but after a trial lasting three months a jury in a federal court in San Francisco acquitted him and co-defendant Stephen Chamberlain in June of all 15 counts.
It emerged Monday that former Autonomy Vice President Chamberlain was killed two days before Lynch.
The 52-year-old died in a road accident while out running in Stretham, 76 miles northeast of London, in rural Cambridgeshire.
