They don't mention the conspiracy theory: this vessel was owned by the founder of Autonomy software, which died in the accident.

The same day, the ex vice president of Autonomy software, was killed in a car accident.

They were related in a fraud case where HP acquired this company for $11B when actually was worth much less than that, writing off a $8B loss very shortly after. But HP is an expert in overvaluing acquisitions.

Now, I can't imagine a big HP shareholder like blackrock planning a revenge like this, but indeed is a weird coincidence that the two persons died in a mysterious accident on the same day

Had to look the car accident up. I mean that both are killed sounds suspicious, but in case it was by revenge it was planned very well. At least bbc wrote that the women which caused the car accident even stayed at the scene, so no hit and run. And my two cents regarding the Yacht are that even if it was a big boat, I would never underestimate the power of really, really shitty weather (Wasn't even a waterspoute mentioned somewere?).

Moreover, I'll never understand the people who think that shadowy cabals like this intentionally leave extremely obvious clues. Somewhere like Russia, sure, you want to have plausible deniability while still making it obvious that "I did it'. But why would someone wanting to kill these two people for some unspecified reason want to kill them both on the same day? That's the absolute last thing you want to do if you're trying to cover something up.

I mean, killing someone isn't going to bring their money back. Putin has his boyars thrown out of windows to send a message, that's why it's obvious.
