British tech tycoon Mike Lynch, Morgan Stanley International chairman Jonathan Bloomer, and Chris Morvillo, a prominent American lawyer, are among six people still missing after a tornado hit a luxury yacht off the coast of Sicily.
The vessel sank Monday, killing one of the 22 people on board. Fifteen people have been rescued. Salvatore Cocina, head of the Italian island’s Civil Protection agency, told journalists at the scene that Bloomer and Morvillo’s wives are also missing. Bloomer, whose LinkedIn profile lists him as the chairman of Morgan Stanley International, is also the chairman of London-listed insurer Hiscox.
Lynch’s 18-year-old daughter is still missing. Lynch, a 59-year-old tech investor and entrepreneur, was acquitted in June in a fraud trial linked to the multi-billion dollar sale of Autonomy, the software firm he co-founded, to Hewlett Packard. Prosecutors alleged that Lynch had schemed to inflate Autonomy’s revenue prior to the sale. Morvillo, an American lawyer at Clifford Chance, was involved in successfully defending the case against Lynch.
