Billionaire Mike Lynch has been extradited to the US, the Home Office has said, as the entrepreneur faces criminal charges over Hewlett Packard’s $11 billion acquisition of his software company Autonomy in 2011.
HP previously accused Lynch and former Autonomy finance director Sushovan Hussain of having conducted “a systematic and sustained scheme to make Autonomy look like a rapidly growing, pure software company whose performance was consistently in line with market expectations.”
