Jonathan Bloomer had given evidence in the long-running legal saga over claims of fraud against U.K. tech magnate Mike Lynch, who is also missing.
Morgan Stanley International bank chair Jonathan Bloomer is unaccounted for after the 184-foot sailing vessel Bayesian was suddenly sunk by a, 59, whose wife owned the boat, his 18-year-old daughter Hannah, and Chris Morvillo, an anti-corruption lawyer with Clifford Chance. The remaining two people, reportedly the wives of Bloomer and Morvillo, have not yet been identified.
It’s been reported that Lynch had invited members of his legal team out on the yacht to celebrate his recent triumph at trial earlier in June, at which he’d been facing more than 20 years behind bars. Still, the disappearance of the billionaire, his lawyer, and one of their witnesses only adds to thethat have followed hot on the heels of their shock victory, itself all the more extraordinary for the fact less than 1 percent of all federal criminal cases end in acquittal.
Prosecutors had accused Lynch and Chamberlain of committing massive fraud in cooking Autonomy’s books to make it look more profitable ahead of the sale to Hewlett-Packard. After civil proceedings in the U.K. had awarded some $4 billion in damages against the pair in 2022, federal authorities in U.S. filed to extradite Lynch on criminal charges, which he fought until eventually being brought over in May 2023.
