Mike ******’s Widow Could Be Liable for $4B Due to Hewlett Packard Claim

Hewlett Packard Enterprises is not dropping ****** claims against British tech mogul Mike ******, who ***** last month after a luxury yacht sank off the coast of Sicily — and will continue to pursue damages of up to $4 billion from his estate.

In 2022, Britain’s High Court ruled that the information technology company “had substantially succeeded in its civil ****** claims,” according to a statement from the company that was obtained by PEOPLE. 

The claims were made against ****** and Sushovan Hussain, the former chief financial officer of Autonomy, a business software company ****** founded, which was sold to Hewlett Packard in 2011 for $11 billion.

A damages hearing was held in Feb. 2024  — months before ****** was acquitted in a separate U.S. trial related to the *****  — and HPE said in its statement that the “judge’s decision regarding damages” due to the company is expected to be issued “in due course.”

“It is HPE’s intention to follow the proceedings through to their conclusion,” the statement continued.

Angela Bacares, ******’s widow  — who was rescued after the sinking, which also resulted in the ****** of the couple’s 18-year-old daughter Hannah — could be liable for the damages, per the
