British software tycoon Mike Lynch spent almost a year battling Hewlett-Packard Enterprise Co. in a London court. This week, he prepares to face U.S. prosecutors seeking to have him stand trial in America to face criminal charges.
Lynch is still waiting for the judge’s verdict on the $5 billion civil claim brought by HP -- some twelve months after the hearings finished. He’s now fighting extradition on charges stemming from HP’s purchase of his firm, Autonomy Corp., and its ignominious downfall.
