(InfoWorld) - A civil lawsuit accusing Henry Nicholas III, the former president and CEO of Broadcom Corp., of mistreating employees, using illegal drugs and paying for prostitutes, has reportedly caught the attention of U.S. law enforcement officials investigating stock options backdating at the company.
Nicholas, who resigned from Broadcom in January 2003, is the target of a civil lawsuit brought by cousins Kenji and Scott Kato, both former employees of Nicholas. The lawsuit, filed in November in Superior Court of California for the County of Los Angeles, alleges that Nicholas and his lawyers reneged on a settlement for wrongful termination and other claims.
The Wall Street Journal reported Friday that the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California, which is investigating stock options backdating at Broadcom, has begun looking into the Katos' claims. The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation interviewed Kenji Kato in April, and this week, it began interviewing other Nicholas employees, the news report said.
Nicholas' lawyer, Steven Silverstein, called the allegations "complete and total nonsense, a fabrication." Kenji and Scott Kato are trying to extort money from Nicholas, he said.
Asked about the U.S. attorney's interest in the civil case, he said, "What could this possibly have to do with stock options backdating?"
Kenji Kato's lawyer, Joseph Kar, declined to comment on the U.S. Attorney's interest in the case. A spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's office didn't immediately return a phone call seeking comment on the investigation.
Broadcom, a chip maker for communications devices, announced in January it would take a $2.24 billion charge for stock options backdating. Broadcom said it found options for 232.9 million shares of company stock that had been backdated, with 9.7 million of those shares going to executive officers.
Kenji Kato, who describes himself in court documents as a former personal assistant of Nicholas', said Nicholas and his lawyers offered him a settlement of more than $2.9 million in November, then withdrew it. Kato had accused Nicholas of wrongful termination, breach of contract and infliction of emotional distress, among other things.
Kenji Kato worked for Nicholas from October 1999 to April 2006, and during much of that time, Nicholas threw wild parties and regularly used illegal drugs, such as cocaine, according to a court filing from May. While at Broadcom, Nicholas hired prostitutes for clients and for himself, and he spiked customer drinks with powdered ecstasy pills to lower their "inhibitions and guard," Kato said in the filing.
Silverstein said the proposed settlement between Nicholas and Kato was part of a Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department sting operation into the Katos' extortion attempts. "From the first time we ever heard from those guys, we knew it was false ... and we contacted police," Silverstein said.
Nicholas' lawyer, Steven Silverstein, didn't immediately return a phone call seeking comment on the lawsuit. In addition, Kato signed a confidentiality agreement when working for Nicholas, according to documents filed by Level 7 LLC and The Management Company LLC, two companies owned by Nicholas.
Kato has threatened to make public "certain sensitive private alleged facts ... which he had expressly promised to keep private," the Level 7 court documents say. "Kato's wrongful conduct by issuing these threats ... will cause great and irreparable injury to plaintiffs."
Nicholas regularly yelled at employees, and he demanded that Kenji Kato carry a bag with illegal drugs for him, according to Kenji Kato's filing. Nicholas also demanded that Kato use drugs along with him, Kato said.
"I was regularly exposed to ... a high degree of debauchery while working for Nick," he said in his filing. "The first time I used cocaine was when Nick shoved a tiny spoon up my nose because I was falling asleep, while he was talking to me. Over time, I got sucked into his extreme lifestyle."
By the end of Kato's employment, Nicholas was using "large quantities" of illegal drugs, including cocaine and heroin, and had withdrawn from his friends and family, according to Kato's May filing. Nicholas had stopped paying Kato, although he still demanded work from him, and when Kato walked out, Nicholas owed him $150,000 in back pay, the court documents say.
Nicholas had promised Kato employee benefits and Broadcom stock options, but he never delivered, according to Kato's filing.

(InfoWorld) - Data broker ChoicePoint Inc. will pay US$500,000 and has agreed to change the way it screens new customers under a multistate settlement for a 2004 data breach.
The settlement, announced Thursday, covers complaints from 43 states and the District of Columbia following the 2004 data breach affecting 163,000 U.S. residents. The company announced in early 2005 that identity thieves had set up fake businesses as a way to buy personal information from ChoicePoint.
States will likely use the $500,000 for attorney's fees and court costs, Washington state Attorney General Rob McKenna said in a news release. Consumers affected by the ChoicePoint breach can seek redress under a separate settlement with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, announced in January 2006. In the settlement with the FTC, ChoicePoint agreed to pay a $10 million fine and another $5 million for consumer redress.
Consumers affected by the breach have until June 22 to file claims with the FTC. The FTC has identified about 1,400 consumers who had out-of-pocket expenses due to the breach.
The settlement with the states represents the first time a data broker has agreed to safeguard publicly available information in the same way that financial information is protected by law, McKenna said.
"As part of the settlement, ChoicePoint will make significant changes to the way the company screens new customers," McKenna said in a statement. "New credentialing methods ... will help ensure that sensitive data is better protected and shared with only legitimate businesses, not identity thieves."
ChoicePoint has made significant improvements in its privacy protection efforts, the company said in a statement.
"In the eyes of many of our harshest critics ... ChoicePoint has become a 'model' of privacy protection," Matt Furman, ChoicePoint vice president for corporate communications, said in a statement. The company expects that the changes it is making as part of its agreement with the states "will ultimately be where the entire industry finds itself" as far as protecting data, he said.
The settlement also calls on ChoicePoint to work with state attorneys general to fund consumer education programs on identity theft, the company said.
The Washington Attorney General's Office sent the settlement agreement to Thurston County Superior Court Thursday. A judge must approve the agreement before it becomes final.
ChoicePoint collects and sells personal information about consumers, including names, Social Security numbers, and birth dates, employment information and credit histories. The company provides credential verification services to more than 50,000 businesses, government agencies and nonprofit organizations. |
