Sicily yacht disaster: Who was the UK tech mogul Mike Lynch?

Описание: Mike Lynch, who founded software giant Autonomy in 1996, was made an OBE for services to enterprise in 2006.

In June, he was cleared in the US of conducting a massive fraud relating to an $11bn (£8.64bn) sale to US company Hewlett Packard (HP).

However, HP did win a six-year civil fraud suit against Lynch back in 2022 after the English High Court ruled that he defrauded the firm by manipulating Autonomy’s accounts to inflate its valuation ahead of the takeover.

It was reported that Autonomy’s former vice president of finance Stephen Chamberlain, and a co-defendant on the US case, passed away on Saturday.
