    The yacht maker offered no proof, so we’ll have to wait and see if it’s yet another rich person lying.

    Speaking of rich people lying, Mike Lynch and his VP of finance, Stephen Chamberlain, were accused of using fraud to overvalue their company before selling it to HP, who wanted $5b in damages.

    They were acquitted last month. Chamberlain was killed by a car while jogging, two days before Lynch’s yacht went down.

      He’s referring to the AIS tracking system and how long until it stopped broadcasting after the boat whipped around due to the storm. You can look up the AIS and see it yourself too. Both this boat and the one anchored next to it whip around drastically the same time then the Bayesian stoops transmitting, likely because the transmitter is now under water.
