Tech billionaire and Broadcom co-founder Henry T. Nicholas III was arrested this week in a Las Vegas hotel room on suspicion of drug trafficking, jail records show.

Authorities responded to a call from the Encore hotel Tuesday night regarding contraband in one of its rooms, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.

Police arrested Nicholas, 59, and a woman identified as Ashley Fargo, 37, on suspicion of trafficking cocaine, ecstasy, heroin and methamphetamine.

Both have since been released from custody, a police spokesman said.

Nicholas’ attorney, famed for representing the likes of Paris Hilton, Bruno Mars, and Motley Crue singer Vince Neil, said his client was released on his own recognizance.

Nicholas has had previous run-ins with the law.

According a 2008 indictment cited by the Los Angeles Times, Nicholas was accused of distributing and using drugs on a private flight between Orange County, Calif., and Las Vegas.

If the Chinese intelligence services knew Broadcom founder was a drug user with a fondness for hookers and gambling, they would have had a field day.

“What would you do with a million dollars?”

“Hookers and blow.”

(And maybe some hard time, idiot.)

Does this combination (cocaine, ecstasy, heroin and methamphetamine)have a name? Is this a speedball?

This guy was as high profile as Gates and Jobs during the dot com era, when Broadcom stock was the darling of CNBC.

President Trump was the one who put the kibosh on the Broadcom/Qualcomm merger due to Chinese concerns. Recently Broadcom failed to merger with NXP. How low can they go!

Heroin and cocaine would be a speedball. Of the four listed,
cocaine (white pony, coke or crack if made into paste and cooked on stove), ecstasy (Molly), and methamphetamine (crank) are stimulants, with heroin (smack, horse) being a sedative. I won’t even try to guess if someone would combine all four in one dose.

According to the National Lampoon drug interaction table, mixing all those drugs would result in you being sucked up in to a molecular tornado, then you die.
