Whatever demonization/demonetization strategy the left is using, it does work.
An unexpected violent storm, which some EU media outlets described as a ‘tornado,’ sank the British-flagged superyacht “Bayesian” early Monday morning off the coast of Sicily.
What are the odds? 
What are the odds according to Bayes law or theorem?
Chamberlain faced similar fraud and conspiracy charges as his former boss, Lynch, for allegedly conspiring to inflate their company Autonomy before it was sold to Hewlett-Packard for $11 billion in 2011.
On June 6, a federal court jury in San Francisco found Lynch and Chamberlain not guilty following an 11-week criminal trial.
According to the Pew Research Center analysis, only 0.4% of federal criminal cases in 2022 ended in acquittal, which means the two executives were extremely lucky with the positive outcome.
The odds of something with low odds happening are high.

Based on the search results, here are the key points about Mike Lynch and the Bayesian yacht incident:
- The Incident:
- Mike Lynch’s 56-meter yacht Bayesian sank off the coast of Sicily on August 21, 2024.
- The yacht capsized during a violent storm near Porticello.
- 22 people were on board, 15 were rescued, and 7 died, including Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah.
- Investigation:
- Italian prosecutors have launched a manslaughter investigation.
- They are looking into possible negligence and reasons why the yacht sank so quickly.
- Prosecutors noted the emergency began at 4:38 a.m. when a red flare was launched, and passengers were likely asleep.
- Yacht Design:
- Giovanni Costantino, CEO of The Italian Sea Group (which owns the company that built Bayesian), claimed such yachts are “unsinkable bodies” due to their structure and keel.
- However, an eyewitness, Dutch ship captain Karsten Börner, attributed the tragedy to the yacht’s extremely tall mast (73 meters above deck), which may have made it more vulnerable to the storm.
- Other Details:
- Lynch’s wife, who owns the charter company that owns Bayesian, survived and is expected to seek answers about the incident.
- Other victims included Morgan Stanley International chair Jonathan Bloomer and his wife, and Clifford Chance lawyer Chris Morvillo and his wife.
- The incident occurred shortly after Lynch was acquitted of fraud charges in the US.
- Ongoing Investigation:
- Italian authorities are interviewing survivors and examining all aspects of the incident, including the yacht’s design, stability, and operation, as well as the weather conditions.
The investigation is ongoing, and there are still questions about why this yacht sank when other nearby vessels weathered the same storm without major issues.

Mike Lynch’s company, Autonomy, which was sold to HP and was the subject of fraud charges, was far more than merely associated with national intelligence agencies:
[Mike] Lynch co-founded Darktrace in partnership with former U.K. intelligence officials in 2013.
One of the co-founders was Stephen Huxter, a high-ranking figure in MI5’s cyber defense team, who became a managing director at Darktrace.
Huxter hired 30-year GCHQ veteran Andrew France as the company’s chief executive — he later joined the company’s board.
Former head of MI5 Jonathan Evans also sat on the Darktrace’s board for a time, while Jim Penrose, a 17-year veteran of the U.S.’s National Security Agency, formerly headed up the company’s American operations.
Other former spooks at the company included director of technology Dave Palmer, who previously worked at MI5 and GCHQ, and director of security John Richardson, who worked on cyber defence for the UK government.
But Lynch’s connections with the murky sphere of intelligence predated Darktrace. His first company Cambridge Neurodynamics, which specialized in computer-based fingerprint recognition, held contracts with the U.K. intelligence agencies.
“They have the most interesting problems,” he told Wired magazine in 2002.
Lynch spun Autonomy out of Neurodynamics in 1996. The company, which Chamberlain joined in 2005, used machine learning to analyze data from sources such as intercepted phone calls and emails.
A fan of the fictional spy James Bond, Lynch named conference rooms in Autonomy’s headquarters after the movie series’ villains including Dr. No and Goldfinger. He was said to have had a fish tank in the firm’s reception area filled with vicious piranhas, as a tribute to a scene in the movie “You Only Live Twice.”
Autonomy also scored high-profile tenders from U.K. and U.S. government agencies, including a contract to provide infrastructure to the U.S. Office of Homeland Security to analyze intelligence as part of the war on terrorism following 9/11.
A 2003 Guardian article described the company as “dealing with secret intelligence” and “among the few UK commercial organizations that stand to profit from the Iraq war.” It described the company’s technology as “advanced computer eavesdropping systems.”
At that time, the company held other contracts with U.S. government agencies including the army, NASA, and US intelligence agencies. GCHQ and MI6 were also believed to be clients.
Richard Perle, a former Pentagon appointee [a.k.a. “the Prince of Darkness”] who at that time served as chair of the Pentagon’s defense advisory board, acted as one of the company’s directors.
