Superyacht sinking: Who is tech tycoon Mike Lynch

A British tech tycoon and his 18yearold daughter were feared dead on Monday after his superyacht was struck by a tornado. Mike Lynch, 59, and his teenage daughter Hannah are among seven passengers and crew thought to have been killed after his 30 million yacht sank half a mile off the coast of Sicily in the early hours of Monday morning. They were on a trip to celebrate his acquittal in a fraud trial. Mr Lynch, dubbed Britains Bill Gates, had been acquitted of fraud in a San Francisco court room in June, having been found not guilty on all counts of inflating the value of Autonomy, the company he sold to the US tech giant HewlettPackard in 2011 for 8. 6 billion. , mikelynch, superyacht, sicily Read more:
