Of course, when Blinkx is taken over (by Microsoft, or by Yahoo, or by Google, or by Murdoch, or by Diller...) Dr Lynch will be worth rather more, since he personally owns about 8% of Blinkx shares (and Autonomy about the same amount again).
[edit] I like the bit about 'wanting to hide gold under the floor and support myself'. I take that to mean he would be open to a bid for Blinkx at the right price. He clearly doesn't think Blinkx is central to Autonomy's business otherwise he wouldn't have floated it as a separate business in the first place; so why not make another pile of cash out of the conflict between, say, MS and Google?
