How Did Tech Billionaire Mike Lynch's Yacht Sink? — Accident or Not?

British tech mogul Mike Lynch lost his life after his yacht sank off the coast of Sicily. However, James Poulos, BlazeTV host of "Zero Hour," says the timing is a little odd. Poulos reveals that Lynch and his business partner died the same day and that the two were acquitted of fraud roughly a month before. Even weirder is that Lynch had ties to former British intelligence personnel. Just how deep does the rabbit hole go?

What's the difference between the truth and a conspiracy theory? About 6 months.

I know nothing about this man, but when I heard about this story on the BBC I immediately thought it was suspicious and dodgy.

In my 50 years on this earth. I've learned that coincidences rarely happen. This sounds like someone tying up loose ends.

Damn the CIA has been hard at work lately. 😳

Rich people fighting, you’ll never find the truth. Even if you do, no one will be punished.

Yachts like this don't just sink, and billionaires don't just die.

I think we need Glenn's chalkboard for this spiderweb

Whats weird about this is his lawyer died by a hit and run 2 days before this.🤔

“Make it look like an accident, Bond!” 😜😂😂😉

Obviously someone has the ability to control the weather and cause a storm exactly over this yacht, that was then used as an excuse to cover up the purposeful sinking and murder.

Truly amazing how people would think otherwise!

Give that man more time to speak. I was so engaged in that and pissed at the 20 second interruption and cut off.

[blackbeard]

The fact they tried to say it was a freak water spout definitely made me wonder.
Think about all the tech crashes after the failed assassination attempt, seems like someones plan didnt go as planned and they're covering their tracks... Maybe, Maybe!

The woman reporter has a perma smile and it's creepy AF. She was smiling while he was talking about the ship wreck? WTF?

Was HP’s Accounting Dept ever looked into for their incompetence? When you’re about to spend $11 Billion on a takeover one would think a deep look at the books would be done.

It was a hit job he won a hewlit Packard lawsuit for fifty million

Someone needs to analyse Stephen Chamberlain's Strava run that was recording his run.

Bayesien had a motorized keel that retracted into a keel box or keel trunk. The reason for the retractable keel was to allow Bayesien access to shallow draft locations. Being a yacht built for guests, you want to get them into as many locations as possible.

The keel would be raised while at anchor so it wouldn’t make noise and annoy the guests. In the lowered position, the keel would move around from the motion of tides or current, that movement would create an annoying noise when the keel tapped on the side of its enclosure.

Bayesien has a “Stability Information Book, ” this book outlines the “righting characteristics” of Bayesien (specifically). Bayesien was required to have the keel in a lowered position when under sail or more than 60 nautical miles from shore. At all other times the keel could be in the fully raised position.

One of the critical areas that will - most likely - receive attention is the “downflooding angle”. This is the angle at which the Bayesien will start to take on water through dampers in the hull (imagine an exhaust pipe for blowing out fumes and one for for bringing in fresh air). Those dampers allow for the running of generators (electricity) and HVAC (air conditioning) systems necessary for crew and guest comfort. The downflooding angle of the Bayesien was 40-45 degrees. What that means…if you were sailing and the vessel was heeling over (beyond 40-45 degree downflooding angle) they would want the dampers closed.

Another metric in the Stability Information Book would be the “AVS”…Angle of Vanishing Stability. This is the angle the Bayesien could be pushed over, with keel in the retracted position, and be expected to return to an upright position. The AVS for Bayesien with the keel retracted was 77 degrees.

There’s a youtube video from New Zealand showing a 55’ catamaran being lifted up and blown upside down. Shortly after, a sailing yacht just across the marina with a mast height similar to Bayesien is blown to over to 85 degrees. Fortunately, that vessel was able to right itself.

So…at anchor…keel raised…dampers open (so air conditioning can run and keep the guests comfortable)…the Bayesien is hit with a freak wind event that pushes her over past 40-45 degrees, probably past the AVS of 77 degrees!It’s at this point she starts to take on water through those open dampers and no longer has the ability to self right (past the 77 degrees of AVS).

It was a tragedy, a freak accident.

So the woman driving the car has not been named. No statement ??? ... and yet Anne Sacoolas was named immediately.

That's the second time I've heard this story and I still don't know what the hell's going on. It might be a little bit easier to understand if they didn't race the poor guest through. He barely had a pause well he was explaining the Deep crooked background of these companies
