British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch is currently facing a corporate fraud trial in the US, with prosecutors accusing him of being the 'driving force' behind missteps at Autonomy, the company he founded. The trial, which began in March, has now reached the deliberation stage as a long-running legal battle over a 2011 acquisition deal nears its conclusion.
