Yeah I’m baffled by the level of media coverage. Obviously it’s very tragic but why is so front line news.
My tinfoil hat is making me think media know something else so keeping the story out there.
Its headline news for a number of reasons (and possible reasons)
Definite reasons:
- He was a well known billionaire
- He sat on a number of boards, inc the BBC IIRC
- We had (as a country) spent a number of years fighting his extradition to the US, he had caused us a headache, was well known to politicians
- He was part of a massive scandal where it was alleged he had sold his company to HP overvalued and they were suing him. Deloitte are implicated as well.
- He was acquitted of this last week
- The BBC had interviewed him only last week where he talked about starting his life again
- The other man who was acquitted last week also mysteriously died in a cycling accident a week after his acquittal
Possible reasons
- BBC know this is shifty as
duck and are overreporting as they know it will come out that it was a hit
Questions:
- 'Water spout' as a cause of the boat capsizing is suggested only I believe as they don't show up on radar and there's no real evidence of that happening? witnesses have claimed to have seen one, but who were the witnesses?
- Why wasn't the boat docked given the weather?
- How did the boat sink, even if the mast was submerged, the keel should have kept it afloat. It wasn't an old and rickety boat.
- If the keel was retracted, why? Who did that?
- If windows had been left open, why? Thats dangerous.
- If the crew were up (they were, because of the bad weather) and had time to escape in a life raft, why couldn't they get everyone else up\out?
