Latest on Mike Lynch’s superyacht: Tycoon’s wife ‘didn’t want to leave boat without family’ as crew face criminal probe

The captain of one of the boats near the Bayesian shipwreck said Mike Lynch’s wife did not want to leave the wreck site without her family.

Carsten Borner, the captain of the Sir Robert Baden-Powell ship that helped rescue 15 survivors of the disaster in Sicily, told People magazine that Angela Pakaris “did not want to leave because her husband and daughter were still down there.”

British tech mogul Lynch and one of his daughters with Bakaris, 18-year-old Hannah, were among seven people killed after his luxury yacht capsized and sank on August 19 minutes after being hit by a pre-dawn storm.

Two other crew members of the Bayzian are being investigated for manslaughter, including the ship’s engineer and a sailor.

Tim Parker Easton is suspected of failing to protect the yacht’s engine room and operating systems, while Matthew Griffiths was on watch duty on the night of the incident, a source said.

The yacht captain’s lawyer said his client chose not to answer prosecutors’ questions when he was spoken to for a third time on Tuesday.

James Cutfield, a 51-year-old New Zealand national, is under investigation for manslaughter and causing a shipwreck.

“The captain has exercised his right to remain silent for two fundamental reasons,” lawyer Giovanni Rizzotti told reporters. “First, he is very tired. Second, we were only appointed on Monday, and in order to be able to present a comprehensive and correct defense, we need to have access to a set of data that we do not have at the moment.”

Being placed under investigation does not necessarily mean that a person has been convicted or charged. Prosecutor Ambrogio Cartosio said his team would examine every possible element of liability, including those of the captain, the crew, the individuals responsible for supervision and the yacht’s manufacturer.

The Times A lawyer for Mr. Catfield said the captain was “understandably very upset” after Monday’s ordeal.

A court-appointed armed guard tasked with ensuring Mike Lynch does not escape while he faces fraud charges has praised the tech mogul, saying the security team has become “less detailed and more like family”.

Rollo Igno also described the “beautiful memory of the soul” in Mr. Lynch’s daughter, Hannah.

Mr. Igno said he had the “privilege” of spending “almost every waking moment” with Mr. Lynch while he was in custody in San Francisco, describing the details as unlike anything he had ever worked on and as “life-changing.”

“As an executive protection agent, the first rule is simple: Never get close to the boss,” he said.

“They are not your friends, they are clients and the relationship is strictly professional. But with Mike, that was not acceptable to him and to me, and that rule quickly faded.”

The 56-meter yacht sank. Bayesian The British newspaper “The Daily Telegraph” wrote that the tragic deaths of British technology mogul Mike Lynch, his guests and the boat crew gave the public a glimpse into the rare world of luxury yachts. International boatto Lucy Dunne.

There are currently 12,626 superyachts on the water around the world, with 1,166 under construction or on order. If you’ve been to a Greek island this year, or perhaps the Amalfi Coast, you’ve probably spotted them cruising in and out of port and wondered who owns such a yacht. Or who can afford to charter one – which averages around £180,000 a week.

While you might think of high-profile influencers and A-list celebrities, the superyacht community is where the millionaires are sorted from the billionaires from the billionaires; 0.001 per position. It’s rare to find a celebrity with the financial clout to buy a Lynch-owned yacht, as these are generally industry titans who aren’t as well-known or household names.

So what exactly makes a superyacht super? According to Boat International, where I work, it can be applied to any boat, motor yacht or sailing yacht over 24 metres in length. In the world of superyachts, size is everything – and yachts get bigger with time.

Italian authorities are investigating three people for manslaughter after the Albaicin yacht sank off the coast of Sicily.

On Monday, the boat’s captain, James Cutfield, 51, from New Zealand, was placed under investigation. He refused to answer prosecutors during questioning on Tuesday.

Two British crew members are now under investigation. Ship engineer Tim Parker-Eaton and seaman Matthew Griffiths are being investigated for the same offences.

A source told Reuters that there is suspicion that Parker Eaton failed to protect the yacht’s engine room and operating systems.

An investigation does not mean a conviction, nor does it necessarily mean formal charges.

Ricaldo Tomas was the superyacht’s chef and the first person confirmed dead.

The Italian coast guard found the Canadian citizen of Antigua origin near the sunken boat. A friend of Mr. Thomas, who asked not to be identified, said the yachting community was mourning his death.

She said The Independent: “He was a unique human being. Incredibly talented, his smile and laugh were infectious, his voice was amazing and his love for the ocean and the moon was deep. I talked to him almost every day. He loved his life, his friends and his work.”

Autonomy, the software company sold by Mike Lynch in an £8.64bn deal in 2011, pioneered business data analytics, using machine learning and what Mr Lynch called “adaptive pattern recognition”.

The company used a statistical method called Bayesian inference at the heart of its software, which was invented by the 18th-century mathematician Thomas Bayes.
