Ruth Lee, a neighbor of Mike Lynch, said the boss was a “very charitable man” and would speak at the village church on Remembrance Sunday.

Mrs Leek, of Pettistree, Suffolk, said: “You would see him driving by and he would always wave and say hello and use your name.

“Once a year he would have a party on the lawn and we would all go to it.

“He’s a very good man. I know it’s a bit trite, but by every right a man he could have been too high, but he wasn’t, he was involved.

“On Remembrance Sunday he would come and speak at the church in the village.

“He was a very charitable man, he gave a lot of time and effort, which was good. We had an incredibly high opinion of him.

Mike Lynch, 59, is one of the UK’s top tech entrepreneurs. He created Autonomy, the country’s largest software company, and was referred to as Britain’s Bill Gates.

He sold the company to HP in 2011 for $11 billion (£8.64 billion), after which the US tech giant accused him of defrauding the deal in spectacular fashion, resulting in a lengthy investigation. Mr Lynch was eventually acquitted by a jury in San Francisco in June.

Mr Lynch faces more than 20 years in a US prison if convicted of fraud and conspiracy charges.

An initial focus of the official investigation is whether the boat’s crew closed access hatches inside the vessel before the storm hit, said an expert at the disaster site, who declined to be named.

Based on forecasts of severe weather overnight, investigators will look to see if appropriate measures were taken.

Morvillo thanks his legal team and his family, and now ends with a serious flourish.

“And, finally, thank you to my patient and incredible wife, Neda Morvillo, and my two strong, intelligent and beautiful daughters, Sabrina Morvillo and Sophia Morvillo,” he wrote. “None of this would have been possible without your love and support. I am very happy to be at home. They all lived happily ever after…”

Morvillo is a partner at Clifford Chance, a white-collar law firm with offices on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. He previously served as a federal prosecutor investigating the September 11 terrorist attacks. New York Post.

Local reports said rescue teams diving the Bayesian’s wreck broke through a glass window and entered the boat’s hull.

A local blacksmith made jacks used to break the 3cm glass, Giornale de Sicilia said on Tuesday, adding that firefighter divers were then able to reach common areas of the ship through the gap.

However, they are yet to go to the cabins and it may take some time as the entrances may be blocked, it added.

The boat is said to be leaning on its starboard side, adding to the difficulty of the operation.

The boat left the Sicilian port of Milazzo on August 14 and was last tracked east of Palermo on Sunday evening, with a navigation status of “at anchor,” according to vessel tracking app VesselFinder.

It is thought to be the only hope for survival of the six passengers who are still unaccounted for – tech tycoon Mike Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter; Morgan Stanley executive Jonathan Bloomer and his wife, Judy; And Clifford Chance lawyer Chris Morvillo and his wife Neda – who are in a plane pocket on board the doomed £30m ship.
