Mike Lynch's Autonomy co-founder describes British tech magnate's legacy

(22 Aug 2024) RESTRICTION SUMMARY: ASSOCIATED PRESS London - 22 August 2024 1. SOUNDBITE (English) David Tabizel, who co-founded Autonomy with Mike Lynch: "He was the man who created the modern AI industry and and the modern big data industry. And I felt that, that had been lost with this legal action that had also and the way he'd been labeled as somebody dishonest when he most certainly wasn't. This particular horrific event and the horrific coincidence affecting his co-defendant who was hit by a car, I felt that also that this is, you know, some form of ghoulish sensationalism. And I thought, you know, billionaire, you know, accused of fraud comes out and then he and his codefendant is run over and then he drowns. 'Oh, dear.' That's not the story." ++BLACK FRAMES++ 2. SOUNDBITE (English) David Tabizel, who co-founded Autonomy with Mike Lynch: "He built the European tech industry. He built the AI industry. Think of this, you know, first we had to connect the internet. Then you can buy and sell things and watch things on the internet. Now we're moving to a sort of simultaneous and maybe superior digital universe, but they're organizing data, whether you are making conclusions from data. This is Mike Lynch's legacy and it's a legacy also of aspiration, a legacy of inspiration, he showed us Brits that we can, that we can build businesses. And he showed that the possible was possible or the impossible was possible. And that's a hell of a legacy." ++BLACK FRAMES++ 3. SOUNDBITE (English) David Tabizel, who co-founded Autonomy with Mike Lynch: "He wasn't interested in money, he was interested in solving the problems and building things and that has to be his legacy. We're going to find out more. He did a lot more." ++ENDS ON SOUNDBITE++ STORYLINE: The business partner of tech tycoon Mike Lynch who died after his yacht sank off Sicily said the 59-year-old showed the "impossible was possible" as he described his legacy. David Tabizel, Lynch's Autonomy co-founder, described his business partner as "the man who created the modern AI industry and and the modern big data industry." He said Lynch's legacy was one of "aspiration, a legacy of inspiration, he showed us Brits that we can, that we can build businesses. And he showed that the possible was possible or the impossible was possible." But he added that a US lawsuit against Lynch had distorted people's perception of his achievements. Lynch struck gold when he sold Autonomy, a software maker that he founded in 1996, to Hewlett-Packard for $11 billion. But the deal quickly turned into an albatross for him after he was accused of cooking the books to make the sale. A decade-long legal battle had resulted in Lynch's extradition from the U.K. to face criminal charges of engineering a massive fraud against HP, a company that helped shape Silicon Valley's zeitgeist after starting in a Palo Alto, California, garage in 1939. Lynch steadfastly denied any wrongdoing, asserting that he was being made a scapegoat for HP's own bungling — a position he maintained while testifying before a jury during a 2 1/2 month trial in San Francisco earlier this year. Lynch was acquitted on all charges in June and freed after a year under house arrest. The luxury yacht trip was a celebration for the billionaire following the legal battle and included lawyers and others who had helped him win the case. Tabizel said he didn't want Lynch to be remembered for this "horrific event". =========================================================== Find out more about AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/HowWeWork Twitter:   / ap_archive   Facebook:   / aparchives   ​​ Instagram:   / apnews   You can license this story through AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/metadata/you...
