Tech Titan Just Cleared of Fraud Is Missing After Luxury Superyacht Hit by Tornado
British tech mogul Mike Lynch is one of six people missing after a majestic luxury superyacht was sunk by a tornado off the coast of Sicily early Monday, according to reports.
Two Americans and three other Brits also remain unaccounted for after the 184-foot sailing vessel Bayesian sank to the depths at around 5 a.m. approximately half a mile off the coast close to Palermo. Fifteen passengers and crew—including a 1-year-old girl—were rescued, according to local media reports, while the body of one man has been recovered.
Lynch, 59, disappeared in the incident but his wife has been rescued, a person familiar with the matter told the Financial Times.
