“Lynch co-founded Autonomy, a software business that became one of the shining lights of the UK tech scene, in the mid-90s.
Once described as Britain’s Bill Gates, Lynch spent much of the past decade in court defending his name against allegations of fraud related to the sale of Autonomy to the US tech company Hewlett-Packard for $11bn.
The 59-year-old was acquitted by a jury in San Francisco in June, after he had spent more than a year living in effect under house arrest.
Upon his acquittal, Lynch told reporters: “I am looking forward to returning to the UK and getting back to what I love most: my family and innovating in my field.”
Morvillo represented Lynch at the trial, while Bloomer, who is also non-executive chair of the insurer Hiscox, appeared at the trial as a defence witness for Lynch.
In a separate development on Monday, Lynch’s co-defendant at the US trial, Stephen Chamberlain, died after being hit by a car while out running in Cambridgeshire.
Chamberlain, the former vice-president of finance at Autonomy, was hit on Saturday morning and had been placed on life support.”
