[Mike Lynch, the billionaire
tech entrepreneur once lauded
as Britain’s Bill Gates,
has been extradited weeks after losing
an appeal to block being forced to face
criminal fraud charges in the US.

Lynch is facing allegations that he
duped the US firm Hewlett-Packard
into overpaying when it struck an
$11bn deal (£8.2bn) for his software
firm Autonomy in 2011.
He denies any wrongdoing.

Lynch, the founding investor of the
British cybersecurity firm Darktrace,
had said he was considering a last-ditch
appeal to the European court of
human rights after the high court ruling
in London last month.]
