Thursday, June 05, 2008 - 4:28 pm
The rumors over Henry Nicholas during the Technology bubble were more salacious than anything alleged at SAC Capital.
The CEO of Broadcom (BRCM-NASDAQ) bragged about never needing to sleep, and pumping iron in a secret dungeon in his basement at 4AM.
He was jacked, but was he jacked up?:
A founder of the Broadcom Corporation, Henry T. Nicholas III, was indicted Thursday on fraud, conspiracy and drug charges — including accusations that he spiked the drinks of colleagues and customers with ecstasy and maintained a warehouse for ecstasy, cocaine and methamphetamine. In addition, he is accused of running a stock options backdating scheme.

One details the drug accusations and the other accuses Mr. Nicholas of improper accounting inj the backdating stock options while he led the company, a computer and cellphone chip maker.
That indictment also names Broadcom’s former chief financial officer, William J. Ruehle, who faces conspiracy, securities fraud and other charges. He is not charged with drug violations. NYT
Yes, the bubble was wild, but this has to be the strangest story to emerge.
