Local officials declared Mr. Lynch,59, deceased on Thursday following the sinking of the Bayesian superyacht he was aboard with his spouse and daughter early on Monday morning.
For fifteen years, Ruth Leigh shared a home in Suffolk with Mr. Lynch and his spouse, Angela Bacares.
Despite his wealth, the software tycoon “never played on his position” and was “very friendly and down-to-earth,” according to her, who also called them “fantastic neighbors.”
After being extradited to the US, Mr. Lynch lived under house arrest in San Francisco for a year before it.
The prosecution contended that he purposefully exaggerated the worth of Autonomy, the enterprise he established in 1996, upon selling it to Hewlett Packard in 2011. He never admitted any wrongdoing.
According to News, his former coworker, he was a “lovely man” with a “brain the size of a planet”.
David Tabizel and Mr. Lynch co-founded Autonomy, and the two stayed close friends. He was called the “brightest man I’ve met in my life” and a “remarkable individual.”.
