“Lynch, who was acquitted in June in a big U.S. fraud trial, was among the six people who remain unaccounted for after their chartered sailboat sank off Porticello, when a tornado over the water known as a waterspout struck the area overnight, said Salvo Cocina of Sicily’s civil protection agency.“ …anyway…

        pay others to do it while slapping his name on it and collecting the lucre.

        Um, excuse me? I don't see you creating jobs? Pick yourself up by the bootstraps, you're just jealous of his intellectual vim and vigor.

    It had a crew of 10 people and 12 passengers, the Italian coast guard said. A sudden fierce storm had battered the area overnight, and struck the place precisely where the 56-meter (184-foot) British-flagged Bayesian had been moored.

    Holy fuck he named his ship the Bayesian? Peak bazinga nerd bazinga absolute uncritical support to comrade freak storm.

    so is it a superyacht or a sailboat? or did they just put sails on a superyacht?

    I ask because a superyacht I assume has support staff/victims/etc on board to feel bad for, if it was just this guy and his ilk its crab-party

      a tornado at night is functionally invisible, especially if it’s rain-wrapped and there are no arcs from breaking power lines. At best you can glimpse it in brief flashes when lightning silhouettes the funnel, like something out of a horror movie.
