Broadcom Exec Accused of Spiking Tech CEO's Drinks, Has More Blow Than Scarface
Posted by Adrian Covert at 10:15 AM on June 6, 2008
Henry Nicholas, co-founder of integrated circuits manufacturer Broadcom, has just been charged with spiking the drinks of other technology execs and maintaining a warehouse full of coke, meth and ecstasy. This is the latest incident for Nicholas, who in July 2007, was accused of constructing a sex cave so he could roll hard on ecstasy and properly love his prostitutes. In addition, Nicholas, along with co-founder Henry Samueli and CFO William Ruehle were charged last month on multiple counts of conspiracy, options backdating, falsifying reported income and securities fraud (BORING!). And call me a dreamer, but I'm still waiting for allegations involving a midget to work their way into this equation. Checkout Valleywag for the full indictment document.[NYT]

@Cordfucious: it's virtue.
In order not to feel the horrible burden of Time which breaks your back and bends you down to earth, you must be unremittingly intoxicated. But on what? Wine, poetry, virtue, as you please...And if it should chance that sometimes, on the steps of a palace, on the green grass of a ditch, in the bleak solitude of your room, you wake up and your intoxication has already diminished or disappeared, ask the wind, the wave, the star, the bird, the clock, ask everything that flees, everything that groans, everything that rolls, everything that sings, everything that speaks, ask them what time it is and the wind, the wave, the star, the bird, the clock, will reply: "It's time to be intoxicated! If you do not wish to be one of the tortured slaves of Time, never be sober; never ever be sober! Use wine, poetry, or virtue, as you please.
-Charles Baudelaire

I can remember when the air was clean and sex was dirty,
It's just human. We all have the jungle inside of us. We all have wants and needs and desires, strange as they may seem. If you stop to think about it, we're all pretty creative, cooking up all these fantasies. it's like a kind of poetry.

What's with all of the midget hate.
Midgets are people too. Small people that smell like cotton candy and cigarettes. I never understood why.
Mother, why do you mock me?

Sometimes I like to put on the Wolf costume and chase the three little pigs. The kids parents at the elementary school aren't very receptive. One day I will catch one of those little piggies.

The Broadcom 7031 should be called the Vegas chip. The zigzag macroblocks were funded by drug money.

I can imagine the brainstorming sessions complete with blacklights, lasers, and the constant thump of electronica pumping out of speakers all over the room.
"Check this idea out! Oh wait...Whoa.What?"
Now that's my kind of business expense tax writeoff!

Obviously all of this could have been avoided if he had only taken his wife on a longer vacation and allowed sufficient time for his labyrinth of sex rooms and opium dens to be constructed..... what an idiot
And whats a guy with a manic addiction to prostitutes, cocaine and ecstasy, doing with a wife?
