In June, following a trial in San Francisco, he was acquitted.
It was hit by a sudden thunderstorm just before sunrise, according to Italian officials.
A total of 22 people were aboard the vessel.
Fifteen people, including a year-old baby girl, were rescued.
Lynchs wife, Angela Bacares, was among the rescued, according to a person familiar with the situation.
The crew apparently had little warning.
There was no distress signal from the yacht, the coast guard said.
But one can’t mistake how bizarre the timing of all of this is.
And make no mistake, this wasn’t some “staged” or orchestrated event.
This water spout hit so unexpectedly, and so quickly, that the boat was submerged in no time.
A celebration turned tragedy it’s almost poetic, in a dark way.
But is it too perfect?
Next, lets talk about this storm shall we?
But I have seen them with my own eyes out on Lake Michigan before.
And they’re fucking terrifying.
So I know they exist.
But again, for conspirary theorist purposes, sudden storms happen, sure.
But did anyone else report this “tornado-like” column of air and water?
Were other boats affected?
Or was this a localized, convenient phenomenon, perfect for obscuring a deliberate act?
And a luxury yacht like that, packed with tech-savvy people, and NO ONE sent a distress signal?
Did the storm knock out all communications that quickly?
Or was someone making sure no one called for help?
That’s not an easy recovery.
Lynch’s wife is safe.
Key witnesses from his trial are safe.
Conveniently removes him from any future legal battles or whistleblowing attempts.
Again, just asking questions here.
Two key figures in a massive corporate scandal removed within a week?
That’s a lot of “coincidences.”
And what about that trial?
WSJ - Lynch founded software company Autonomy in the 1990s.
Autonomy was bought by American tech company Hewlett-Packard for $11 billion in 2011.
Lynch was lauded as one of the few U.K. executives to have built a world-leading software company from scratch.
It counted intelligence agencies, banks and law firms as clients.
The deal has since been described as one of the worst in Silicon Valley history.
The Hewlett-Packard CEO who approved the deal resigned within a year.
Lynch also left the company in 2012.
Hewlett-Packard took an $8.8 billion write-down later that year and said it was duped into overpaying.
The Autonomy business went with Hewlett Packard Enterprise, which sells business software, servers and networking gear.
Another Autonomy executive, former finance chief Stephen Chamberlain, was also acquitted of fraud charges.
Chamberlain was fatally struck by a car in the U.K. on Saturday while out running.
A conspiracy theorist would argue that this isn’t just bad luck.
