trade representative has directly threatened European companies because of fines that might have been imposed on you guys.
OK, but the point that I'm making is America is standing up for American tech, but now America is threatening European companies.
Do you think that's fair?
Cara, thanks very much for joining us.
That's Cara O'Leary, the Country Manager with LinkedIn Ireland.
Mike Lynch used to run the chip design giant Autonomy before it was sold in 2011 to HP for almost $12 billion.
HP then sued Lynch for fraudulently overstating the value of Autonomy and won in the British civil courts.
Lynch was then arrested and faced trial in the US on similar charges but was fully exonerated last year.
A few weeks later, he was dead in a freak boating accident in Italy.
His life story is fascinating from an Irish point of view because both his parents were born here and now there's a superb book about him.
It's called The Curious Case of Mike Lynch, The Improbable Life and Death of a Tech Billionaire.
And its author is Katie Prescott, the technology business editor with The Times of London.
Good morning, Katie.
Good morning, Joe.
Good to talk to you.
Great to have you on the show.
Remind us briefly, Katie, about how Mike Lynch rose to the top despite financial and societal hurdles.
Indeed.
What did autonomy do that was so valuable to Hewlett Packard?
And why is the accounting term revenue recognition so important in this story?
