Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

They don't mention the conspiracy theory: this vessel was owned by the founder of Autonomy software, which died in the accident.
The same day, the ex vice president of Autonomy software, was killed in a car accident.
They were related in a fraud case where HP acquired this company for $11B when actually was worth much less than that, writing off a $8B loss very shortly after. But HP is an expert in overvaluing acquisitions.
Now, I can't imagine a big HP shareholder like blackrock planning a revenge like this, but indeed is a weird coincidence that the two persons died in a mysterious accident on the same day
Had to look the car accident up. I mean that both are killed sounds suspicious, but in case it was by revenge it was planned very well. At least bbc wrote that the women which caused the car accident even stayed at the scene, so no hit and run. And my two cents regarding the Yacht are that even if it was a big boat, I would never underestimate the power of really, really shitty weather (Wasn't even a waterspoute mentioned somewere?).
Moreover, I'll never understand the people who think that shadowy cabals like this intentionally leave extremely obvious clues. Somewhere like Russia, sure, you want to have plausible deniability while still making it obvious that "I did it'. But why would someone wanting to kill these two people for some unspecified reason want to kill them both on the same day? That's the absolute last thing you want to do if you're trying to cover something up.
I mean, killing someone isn't going to bring their money back. Putin has his boyars thrown out of windows to send a message, that's why it's obvious.
And that's exactly what they want you to think.
It was not on the same day. Chamberlain died on 17/08. The Bayesian sunk on the morning of 19/08. I agree that it's a weird coincidence that the two cofounders died within days of each other, and only a short time after winning their lawsuit. But I can't imagine it's a conspiracy. You don't assassinate someone by sinking their boat in a storm. The road death is not suspicious either, the driver in question is a local woman who is cooperating with police, it's not like some anonymous driver struck the man down and then disappeared.
Honestly, this brings me comfort. Now I know for sure those parasites are dead, and not just on an island after faking their deaths and will sleep better. :)
"Billionaires should not exist". The people who died on the yacht were not quite billionaires, they were worth only nine figures rather than ten. But still, you don't accumulate that much wealth without exploiting others.

Ha! The which/who failure makes it sound like the vessel died in the accident.
And this one sounds like 'the same day' is someone's name, and that person was killed in a car accident. What a weird name -- and I once worked for a guy named Ransom Love, and this one still stands out. Do they shorten the name to 'Sam'?
