This article appeals to me on a subliminal level - I'm not exactly sure why but it's up to you to decide what you may think of it.
Mike Lynch, as many may remember, was the man at the centre of a major lawsuit brought by HP over their purchase of software company Autonomy (Mike and his co-defendant Stephen Chamberlain were acquitted in June this year).
Apparently the yacht was the victim of a sudden squall or waterspout or some other very localised nautical event that put it on the bottom. So far so unlucky one might suppose.
"There is something of a miniature Titanic about the story"
Except that the other defendant in the HP-Mike Lynch lawsuit also died suddenly but more or less contemporaneously in a motoring incident in the UK. Completely unrelated of course ... but what are the chances?
