USD 5 billion trial of HP vs UK entrepreneur to start next week

Hewlett-Packard and software company Autonomy Co-founder Mike Lynch is set to fight a USD 5 billion civil fraud trial in London's High Court starting Monday.

The High Court lawsuit was filed by HP against Mr. Lynch and former Autonomy finance officer Sushovan Hussain in 2015. HP alleges that the men were behind the fraudulent manipulation of Autonomy’s accounting information on a massive scale, leading to HP paying an extra USD 5 billion for the company. The men deny the allegations and maintain the losses stem from HP’s own mismanagement of Autonomy’s integration.

In the meanwhile, the US government has accused Mr. Lynch of destroying documents, money laundering and paying hush money to influence court proceedings. In an explosive set of new allegations made against the British tech entrepreneur, the Department of Justice added three counts of conspiracy and securities fraud to the 14 he is already charged with on Friday.

As the High Court trial is due to start in London this coming Monday and run throughout the year, let us see what this trial unfolds!

Big Boss: Nothing but a pointless show with a stupid host

In the midst of the Sushant Singh Rajput death case and the nepotism debate, people have decided to boycott Salman Khan’s Bigg Boss 14. Salman has been bearing the brunt of these trolls ever since he has shared the first teaser. In nutshell the show is nothing but a bunch of loosers who were kinda popular for a very short amount of time for one or the other reason! Dhinkchak Pooja.. seriously? Salman - Host? Nope! Favouritism Moreover, the host of the show, Mr. Salman Khan is a very judgmental person, and he expects and wants everyone to respect him, and if one doesn't, we can see list of people who went on record to say how Salman destroyed their careers!!!

Big Boss - Negative | Negative | Negative It might have been entertaining for many people but have you ever thought that what value does it add to your life? What are...

RAISE YOUR PAW :- #StopYulin2015

Many of you might be wandering what’s this Yulin festival all about. Peeps, Over 10,000 dogs every year in southern china are tortured alive, skinned alive, boiled alive, even cut/stabbed and then been ultimately eaten. This `festival` is not a festival as the name suggests, The Yulin Dog Meat Festival is, contrary to what many might believe, not even a tradition. It was initiated only in the 1990's by the corrupt looking to find a way to profit off the selling of lychee. Perhaps you might be wandering why the slaughter of Cattle, Sheep, Pigs, Chickens, Ducks and all the Fish don’t get so much of focus too , guys the case here is not of being eaten and killed but the Dogs are killed for the "pleasure" of taste and "diversity" of meats.

In fact, it is the entire point of the dog & cat me...
