SANTA ANA, Calif. - Broadcom Corp. co-founder Henry T. Nicholas III was indicted Thursday on fraud, conspiracy and drug charges — including allegations he spiked the drinks of technology executives and customer representatives with ecstasy and maintained a warehouse for ecstasy, cocaine and methamphetamine.
The charges were contained in two indictments unsealed by federal authorities.
One details the drug accusations and the other charges Nicholas with violations related to improperly accounting for backdating stock options while he led the computer and cell phone 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.
Thom Mrozek, spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's office, said Nicholas was in custody after turning himself in to FBI agents in Santa Ana.
