Missing tech tycoon Mike Lynch’s co-defendant in $11B fraud trial fatally struck by car just days before billionaire’s yacht tragedy

Chamberlain was out for a run in Cambridgeshire, England, on Saturday when he was struck by a vehicle and died after being rushed to a nearby hospital.

Chamberlain and Lynch, who remains missing after a yacht he was on with his wife and 18-year-old daughter sank Monday, were co-defendants in the decade-long fraud case that arose after the $11 billion sale to Hewlett-Packard.

Both men were acquitted last June.

Lynch’s wife, Angela Baceres, was rescued soon after the vessel went down after a major storm, but the British tech magnate — sometimes referred to as “the Bill Gates of the UK” — and his daughter, Hannah, are among six missing passengers who have yet to be found. The missing include four British nationals and two Americans.
