Former court-appointed guard says Mike Lynch ‘became like family’

A court-appointed armed guard tasked with ensuring Mike Lynch does not escape while he faces fraud charges has praised the tech mogul, saying the security team has become “less detailed and more like family”.

Rollo Igno also described the “beautiful memory of the soul” in Mr. Lynch’s daughter, Hannah.

Mr. Igno said he had the “privilege” of spending “almost every waking moment” with Mr. Lynch while he was in custody in San Francisco, describing the details as unlike anything he had ever worked on and as “life-changing.”

“As an executive protection agent, the first rule is simple: Never get close to the boss,” he said.

“They’re not your friends, they’re clients and the relationship is strictly professional. But with Mike, that wasn’t acceptable to me, and for me, that rule quickly faded.”
