Tech tycoon, defense attorney, and Morgan Stanley banker among those missing in freak yacht sinking

LONDON — A superyacht that sank Monday off the Sicilian coast during a storm left at least six people dead and one passenger missing. Christopher Morvillo One of Lynch’s U.S. lawyers, Christopher Morvillo of the firm Clifford Chance, and his wife Neda were also on the yacht and are among those unaccounted for. The post ended with the words: “And they all lived happily ever after….” In a legal podcast released last week, Morvillo recounted his involvement with Lynch’s case, starting from when his firm was hired in November 2012. Aki Hussain, the group chief executive of Hiscox, said “our thoughts are with all those affected, in particular our chair, Jonathan Bloomer, and his wife Judy, who are among the missing, and with their family as they await further news from this terrible situation.” Stephen Chamberlain In a strange coincidence, another former Autonomy executive who was acquitted alongside Lynch of the fraud charges died days before the sinking of the Bayesian. “He was just ready to tie up the end of his journey in his career.” Isaac recalled Thomas’ “big, infectious” laugh and said he found some solace in that “Rick did exactly what he was meant to do and what he loved doing.” ___ AP writers Eric Tucker in Washington and Anika Kentish in St. John’s, Antigua, contributed to this report.
