And so many people got caught up in the pain of that transaction.

either because they were interrogated by the FBI, pressure was put on them from both sides to say certain things or behave in a certain way.

And it's astonishing to me, decades on, how it's affected people.

Everything about this story is totally improbable.

So as you say, the judge in the UK civil case in the High Court here in London found four Hewlett-Packard and said there was...

absolutely fraud at autonomy, that Mike Lynch had led it along with his chief financial officer, Sushivan Hussain.

The other thing you didn't mention was Sushivan Hussain was sent to prison in America for fraud after a criminal case.

And so the presumption was that the criminal case in California where Mike Lynch was tried in 2024 would result in a guilty verdict.

I think this book has taught me a lot about the justice system and how it works.

And it's something that Mike Lynch spoke about as well.
