Mike Lynch uses first interview since acquittal in June of fraud charges to call for overhaul of extradition law
The British tech tycoon Mike Lynch has said he thought he would die in a US jail if he had not been cleared of allegedly defrauding Hewlett-Packard over a multibillion-dollar business deal.
In his first interview since his acquittal last month on charges related to the $11.1bn (£8.6bn) purchase of his company Autonomy in 2011, the man once lauded as the UK’s answer to Bill Gates said that his lung condition meant he doubted he would have survived a prison term.
