Mike Lynch, the tech entrepreneur once hailed as Britain’s answer to Bill Gates, faces extradition to the US to answer criminal fraud charges, after a ruling by the home secretary, Priti Patel.
On Friday, Hewlett-Packard won its six-year civil fraud case against Lynch after a high court judge ruled that he duped the US firm into overpaying for his software firm Autonomy, sold to HP for $11bn (£8.2bn) in 2011.
