Well that’s a massive coincidence ….

Lynch’s co-defendant in fraud trial died in car crash on weekend
Mike Lynch’s co-defendant in his US fraud trial died in a road accident on Saturday days before the tycoon went missing off the coast of Sicily.

Stephen Chamberlain was hit by a car during the accident over the weekend in Cambridgeshire.

Chamberlain faced the same charges of fraud and conspiracy as his former boss Lynch for allegedly scheming to inflate the value of his company Autonomy before it was sold to Hewlett Packard.

A source told The Telegraph: “Our dear client and friend Steve Chamberlain was fatally struck by a car on Saturday while out running.

“He was a courageous man with unparalleled integrity, and we deeply miss him. He fought successfully to clear his good name, which lives on through his wonderful family.”

It probably is a coincidence and several people have died, so this is poor.

It’s also misleading, just reading the bit you’ve posted suggests the case is active, when in fact it’s over and both men were acquitted.

Chamberlain was hit by a 49 year housewife in a Vauxhall Corsa, not some assassin.

Whatever…. One hell of a coincidence that both men die in accidents a day or so apart….several days after they were acquitted…what are the odds on that??
I don’t believe in coincidence ….

Who hired the woman motorist and arranged a storm off Sicily?

no idea who hired!
The storm was the cover not the cause, there would have been 100s maybe even 1000s of boats in the area, some bigger, lots smaller & how many sank…..1. I don’t think the storm caused the boat to sink….but it’s all conjecture….we don’t have the facts

You're the boaty man so presumably more of an idea, but even to me as a land luber it seems odd. There must be 10s of thousands of boats anchored like that all over the med, flash storms are a known thing but for a boat as big as that to go down?????

Massively high odds, but I believe in coincidence. Keeping on a nautical theme, Violet Jessop was onboard Olympic when it collided with HMS Hawke, Titanic when it sank, and survived Brittanic's sinking, similar odds to be onboard sister ships? :emoticon-0138-think
