UK tech tycoon Mike Lynch is defending himself in a US trial against charges that he defrauded Hewlett Packard (HP) into purchasing his software company, Autonomy, for $11 billion 13 years ago. Lynch, once hailed as Britain's answer to Steve Jobs, has taken the stand in his own defense, a rare move in such high-profile cases. The trial is taking place in San Francisco federal court. Lynch has denied the allegations, stating that while Autonomy 'wasn't perfect,' he did not commit fraud. US prosecutors have described the case as a 'massive' Silicon Valley fraud. The judge overseeing the trial has denied prosecutors' request to present findings from a British accounting watchdog that Deloitte failed to catch misleading information. Lynch is set to testify on Thursday.
