[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s hard to conjure much sympathy for the ostentatious yacht crowd. And I think the captain has some liability here.  But one less billionaire in the world…[/quote]

The first sentence of the wiki on the sinking is pretty unintentionally funny: "Lynch was celebrating his acquittal for fraud in his trial in San Francisco and had invited lawyers, friends and associates to join him, his wife and their daughter, on a cruise around Sicily."

Very "roaches exterminate themselves"[/quote]

This is really disgusting.  You don't know any of these people.[/quote]
Seriously disgusting. He was acquitted after spending years on house arrest and a fortune on attorney fees. I feel for his family bc he had a quality company that employed tons of people. Whether HP overpaid or not, they mismanaged if and ran it into the ground and tried to scapegoat him to protect themselves. I also hate the posters on here who jump at the rich. One less billionaire? Think how many people he employed, how much he contributed to the economy, etc. All of that trickles down. Also think of his 2 girls who went from MS - uni (for the older one) with their dad on house arrest and unable to do anything for something he was found not guilty. [/quote]

You don't get how many people have to suffer for one billionaire to exist. A billionaire is not simply "the rich." A billionaire does not prop up others, they are propped up by others. You don't get this, and that's fine. [/quote]

You are not even making sense.  This guy was a tech guy.  Did nothing wrong in first part of his life.  Sole company to HP/  Numbers were not right. Criminal trial and guy found not guilty.  Nothing propped up.  What are you not getting?  And as for hording wealth -- first that is why there is wealth but more importantly he could do nothing with his money at all because of the dispute with HP.  Learn stuff and grow up.[/quote]
