A prominent New York lawyer, who has been missing since the Bayesian yacht sank off the coast of Italy on Monday morning, had ominously mentioned his family living "happily ever after" in one of his last social media posts. Christopher Morvillo, a lawyer who helped British tech mogul Mike Lynch—owner of the capsized luxury yacht—in winning his fraud trial, thanked the legal team that contributed to their success in his penultimate LinkedIn post before the tragic incident. Morvillo and his wife Neda are among the six people who took a fatal trip with Lynch to celebrate his success.
However, the couple is now feared dead, along with others. At the end of the eerie post, Morvillo wrote: "And, finally, a huge thank you to my patient and incredible wife, Neda Morvillo, and my two strong, brilliant, and beautiful daughters, Sabrina Morvillo and Sophia Morvillo." "None of this would have been possible without your love and support.
I am so glad to be home. And they all lived happily ever after..
.." Christopher is a partner at the esteemed Clifford Chance law firm, which has offices globally.
He previously worked as an assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York from 1999 to 2005.
Neda, 57, operates her own luxury jewelry brand under her maiden name, Neda Nassiri. The couple owns an apartment on New York's Upper East Side, as well as a luxurious four-bedroom, five-bathroom home valued at $2.3 million in South Kent, Connecticut.
They have two daughters: 27-year-o.
