Tech giant seeking $1.7bn from Mike Lynch's estate after yacht death
Hewlett Packard (HP) is seeking $1.7bn from the estate of Mike Lynch after his yacht death, linked to HP’s acquisition of Autonomy. Despite Mr. Lynch's passing, the legal battle continues as HP claims Mr. Lynch misrepresented Autonomy's finances, causing losses. The court decision in 2022 favored HP, yet the estate disputes the amount sought, emphasizing flawed calculations and seeking to appeal the ruling.
