The sinking of the luxury yacht "Bayesian" on August 19 off the coast of Porticello in Italy, has left behind some mysteries about the dynamics of the unfortunate event, as a vessel of this technological caliber and owned by the "father" of yachts and tracking or spying technology in the world, was swallowed by the storm not far off the coast of Sicily earlier this week.
Searches with divers have brought the first results by extracting 5 of the 6 bodies submerged in the depth of almost 50 meters of the Mediterranean Sea, among them the yacht tycoon Mike Lynch. The Italian prosecutor's office has started investigations and is interrogating, in addition to the 15 survivors, the crew of the ship. There were a total of 22 passengers on board, most of them VIPs and others witnesses to the court case that tycoon Lynch had won on August 11 and was celebrating with a luxury cruise in the Mediterranean.
However, the secrets surrounding Mike Lynch's activities will surely remain intact forever, because they are above all state secrets. Since graduating from Cambridge, the entire successful career of the British entrepreneur has been achieved by applying information technology to intelligence activities, writes "La Repubblica" .
A pioneer who in 1996 conceived software for fingerprint recognition and then converted the same algorithms to identify people through vocal tracks, or texts in e-mails. It's no coincidence that the boom in his second creation—Autonomy, which was later sold to Hewlett Packard and the subject of the long trial that ended in his acquittal—happened after September 11, 2001.
Programs patented by Lynch's company became instrumental in tracking down Al Qaeda terrorists, looking at billions of records collected by American and British police and spies.
For one of the many coincidences surrounding the sinking of the Sicilian ship, in which the death of his partner Stephen Chamberlain, killed three days earlier in a car accident in England, stands out, Christopher Morvillo was also involved in the investigation of the attack on " The Twin Towers". Morvillo, Lynch's attorney, who was also trapped on the craft, had been an assistant prosecutor in the Southern District of New York before taking legal work as a defense attorney, prosecuting some of the hearings on Osama Bin Laden's international network. .
After selling Autonomy, the British tycoon had entered the age of artificial intelligence with Darktrace - literally "Dark Trace" - worthy of a cinematic action thriller, which his partner Chamberlain appeared to be a part of, as the figures were analyzed main from MI5, CGHQ, NSA etc.
In addition to providing powerful cyber monitors of computer networks for individuals and governments, which boosted stock prices after the invasion of Ukraine and the threat of Kremlin hackers, Darktrace is a leader in AI profiling systems: it detects potential suspects by analyzing endless amounts of information.
So much so that he sold his services to Israeli agents to prepare the offensive against Hamas after the October 7 massacres.
It is surprising that such a rich and influential entrepreneur in the world, (the last company he sold for 11 billion dollars, for which he was also investigated and tried, from which he came out innocent), was on tour in the Mediterranean without not even a bodyguard.
Officially, none of the survivors qualified as security officers. Not surprisingly, however, the survivors are kept in as discreet, ironclad isolation. Because after the silence there are not only issues of privacy or the need to preserve the depositions before the prosecutors of Termini Imerese in Palermo.
It is predictable that the recovery of Lynch's smartphone and personal computer will cause a lot of interest, even if it is expected that they will be armored with 007 protection. also the subject of a film with conspiratorial themes of agencies and governments.
Initially, the search and rescue team retrieved the bodies of four victims from the lower deck of the yacht: banker Jonathan Bloomer and his wife Judy, lawyer Chris Morvillo and his wife Nadam. Meanwhile, during the hours of Wednesday evening (21 August) they also found the fifth victim, the body of billionaire Mike Lynch. The only body that was found in the water after the dive, dead, was that of the cook, so a total of 7 victims.
Today (August 22) it is reported that the search has begun for the last missing person, billionaire Mike's daughter, eighteen-year-old Hannah. The bodies of the victims were sent to the Institute of Forensic Medicine in Palermo, where autopsies will be performed in the coming days, writes "La Repubblica".
The 56-metre-long British-flagged Bayesian was moored about 700 meters off Porticello, a coastal town a few kilometers from Palermo, when it was hit by a storm on the morning of August 19. Fifteen people were rescued, including a one-year-old child. Footage from a security camera of an apartment near the shore was even released as the ship was engulfed by the storm in less than a minute.
