Missing NYC lawyer’s last social media post

Jonathan Bloomer, Chairman of Morgan Stanley International, and his wife are among the six people still missing after their mega-yacht sank off the coast of Italy on Monday morning. The luxe boat was reportedly carrying 22 people in total. (12 passengers and 10 crew members) Also missing is 59-year-old Christopher Morvillo, who had recently praised his legal team for helping tech tycoon Mike Lynch get cleared of fraud charges related to the 2011 sale of his Autonomy company to Hewlett-Packard. In his last public comments, Morvillo also celebrated his supportive wife and kids.

“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,” he wrote in his LinkedIn post.
