Morgan Stanley International chairman Jonathan Bloomer is among the missing after a tornado struck a luxury yacht off the coast of Sicily on Monday. Billionaire tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch, dubbed the “British Bill Gates,” as well as his daughter and three others, is also missing and presumed dead.
The disaster came weeks after Lynch was acquitted in the U.S. of fraud charges. Bloomer—who has served as Morgan Stanley’s chair for almost eight years and is also the chair of insurance group Hiscox, according to his LinkedIn profile—played a small role in the trial.
