Britain's Bill Gates missing/feared dead...

Who was Mike Lynch?

[liberalh8ter]

The sinking of the yacht came on the same day that Mr Lynch's co-defendant in the fraud case, Stephen Chamberlain, was confirmed by his lawyer as having died after being hit by a car in Cambridgeshire on Saturday.

What a co-inky-dink!

$11 billion buys a lot of anonymity and a hard to find profiles.

"His daughter Hannah, 18, was also on the yacht which sank."

I think they found her....

In an interview on BBC Radio 4 in August, Mr Lynch said he believed he had only been able to prove his innocence in US court due to his wealth.

Welcome to our two-tiered justice system. Wealthy criminals running free abound.

They keep labeling this ship a "super yacht."

Fake news: It was a large sailboat. A 'yacht' but still a sailboat. HUGE difference. Oh, but defenders will say, "It was FIFTY-SIX METERS LONG!!!"

There is some psychology in phallus in thar.

IDGAF. It's a SAILBOAT, a different class of yacht.

THIS is a 'superyacht' in my mind:

This was the Bayesian:

But what should we expect from those who serve people with more money than brains, in this case a rich venture capitalist 'phallus' who just got away with fraud in US courts (the purpose of the celebratory cruise around the Med) and couldn't afford to be in the class of Paul Allen and Jeff Bezos?

Note: There was arguably MASSIVE fraud at Autonomy, and Lynch and his CFO Sushovan Hussain both faced other legal battles, in addition to damages from a civil case brought by HP.

From one perspective, this was karma delivered by the hand of God.

Who cares. The only reason he’s dead is because he had the money to buy an unsafe yacht in the first place. None of the rest of us could afford to be that stupid. We should not be mourning his loss.

Smart enough to become a billionaire, but not smart enough to avoid a storm while in a boat ... even with modern radar, weather forecasts, etc. warning him ...

SMH!!

Interesting. Thanks for posting. Now if Bill Gates was dead...
