Latest reports indicate that British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch, often dubbed the ‘British Bill Gates,’ and his daughter Hannah are among the missing following the sinking of a luxury yacht off the coast of Sicily. The yacht, named Bayesian, encountered a violent storm that led to the devastating incident.
Mike Lynch has recently been acquitted on fraud and conspiracy charges, which had dominated headlines prior to this unfortunate occurrence.
The Bayesian, a 50-meter vessel, was anchored near Porticello when it was struck by the storm’s fury. The Italian coast guard has been conducting a search and rescue operation, but the Lynch family and several others remain unaccounted for. The incident has cast a somber shadow over the yachting community and serves as a stark reminder of the unpredictability and power of nature.
Lynch has been a prominent figure in the tech industry, known for his innovative contributions and leadership. His daughter Hannah, just 18 years old, was accompanying him on what was supposed to be a leisurely journey at sea.
