HP is seeking around $5bn in damages from Lynch and his former chief financial officer, Sushovan Hussain, accusing them of fraudulently inflating the value of Autonomy, which it bought for $11bn in 2011. The civil trial is one of the largest damages claims in English legal history, and is expected to finish at the end of the year.
Good luck to him after my irritation at having to throw away a nearly new printer of theirs as it refused to use their ink after I had tried to use a comparable cartridge from another firm sold as compatible with HP.
