Sadly, the sinking of the Bayesian occurred just days after a bizarre twist of fate claimed the life of Stephen Chamberlain, a co-defendant in the fraud case against Lynch. Chamberlain was fatally struck by a car in England.
Chamberlain, a former Autonomy Corp. executive, was acquitted alongside Lynch in June of charges related to Hewlett Packard's $11 billion takeover of Lynch's company. His tragic death has sent shockwaves through the tech industry.
