This guy makes his peers at Enron, Tyco, etc look like boy scouts.  The $3 million lawsuit involves drug abuse, prostitution, abuse, death threats, and spiking Broadcom clients’ drinks with drugs.  To top that, he is currently “being investigated in relation to one of the stock options probes now so familiar to Silicon Valley companies” and he is currently in a divorce-based feud with his wife over more than $1bn in Broadcom stock.  I miss the good old days of embezzlement and fraud.

A copy of the lawsuit obtained by The Register shows Kato accusing Nicholas of carrying a concealed weapon with him at all times, performing Judo chops while standing close to others, threatening people like an angry drill sergeant and vowing to “make people disappear” using contacts formed through work with the Defense Department.

…

According to Kato’s lawsuit, Nicholas used to stroll into Kato’s bedroom at 3 a.m. “holding a plate with a pile of cocaine or other drug, and demanding that he ‘party’ with him because ‘he was bored and lonely.’” Nicholas also made Kato entertain him like a court jester and demanded that Kato take drugs, the lawsuit said.

Nicholas forced Kato to keep a large supply of drugs on hand at all times as well, to “look the other way” when Nicholas spiked clients’ drinks with drugs and to bring prostitutes around for clients’ entertainment, according to the lawsuit.
