Hewlett Packard Pursues $4 Billion Claim Against Mike Lynch's Estate

The tech giant continues its legal battle over alleged fraud despite Lynch's recent death in a yacht accident.

Lynch and six others died when his superyacht sank off the coast of Sicily in August.
Hewlett Packard alleges Lynch inflated the value of his company, Autonomy, before its 2011 sale.
A UK court ruled in favor of Hewlett Packard in 2022, but the final damages amount is still pending.
Lynch was acquitted of related criminal charges in the US earlier this year.
Lynch's widow, Angela Bacares, may now be liable for the damages.
