THE BAYESIAN THEORY | The Bayesian Theory is a gripping documentary that unravels the mysterious sinking of the luxury yacht Bayesian off the coast of Sicily on August 19, 2024, which claimed the life of British tech billionaire Mike Lynch. The film delves into the eerie coincidence of Lynch’s death occurring on the same day his business partner and key witness in a high-profile U.S. Department of Justice fraud trial, Stephen Chamberlain, was fatally struck by a car while jogging.

Exploring the dark side of tech, the documentary investigates the murky intersections of wealth, power, and conspiracy in the tech industry. It examines Lynch’s tumultuous journey as the founder of Autonomy, his $11 billion sale to Hewlett-Packard, and the subsequent fraud allegations that led to a 13-year legal battle. Through interviews, archival footage, and expert analysis, the film questions whether the yacht’s sinking was a freak accident caused by a “mini tornado” or something more sinister tied to Lynch’s high-stakes world.

This chilling narrative probes the cost of innovation and ambition, exposing how the tech elite navigate a landscape of corporate espionage, legal warfare, and potentially deadly secrets.
