Sells company for billions, accused of inflating the value of the company, sued, found not guilty, uses money from sale to buy boat, names boat after the company that he (allegedly) inflated the value of, dies in a boat accident 2 months later. Perhaps the universe wasn't happy with the court's conclusion in the fraud case or just has a sense of humour.

Presumably you mean "prosecuted" rather than "sued" for the criminal case in the USA. I think the civil case against him in London is still continuing. (It's hard to tell because journalists almost always garble almost everything related to the law.) Of course someone will suggest that he has faked his own death.

The universe is not happy or sad. Six people missing and one person dead is not humorous. This is really just projecting human ideas of karma and retribution onto someone who is innocent according to the courts, and it's incredibly distasteful to be making jokes while the search for survivors is ongoing, to say nothing of those who perished.

  I wanted to make a joke about this, saying that every year starting 2023, we need to sacrifice billionaires to Poseidon in order to push back society's expiration date. But then I read your comment and realized it would be incredibly distasteful, so I will not make that joke.

  The universe might not be enacting retribution, but it seems very suspicious timing that both defendants died so soon after winning the case. That said coincidence is more likely than shady parts of the financial system arranging a waterspout to sink a ship.

OR. takes advantage of a natural phenomenon to fake own death ("missing," meaning body not found, no identification and confirmation of death), uses ill gotten billions to start a new life. Also has option of upgrading to a new model of wife.

  His money is probably traceable, though, and the guy is only in civil litigation and not criminal trouble iirc. I could believe it if he had been SBF or that OneCoin lady.
