From the LA Times:
Billionaire sought secret lair for sex, drugs, complaint says
“Flush with wealth from Broadcom Corp.’s 1998 public stock offering, computer chip magnate Henry T. Nicholas III made a few additions to his equestrian estate in Laguna Hills: hidden doors and secret levers, an underground grotto, tunnels and a 2,000-square-foot sports bar he called “Nick’s Cafe.”
But there was more, according to a claim made in court documents: plans for a “secret and convenient lair” with hidden entries for Nicholas to indulge his “manic obsession with prostitutes” and “addiction to cocaine and Ecstasy.”
(snip)
Nicholas made no secret of the underground passageways and rooms under his Laguna Hills home, but the filing by James contended the subterranean complex was more elaborate than even Stacey Nicholas was aware of and ultimately cost $30 million over three years.”
Underground labyrinths, secret chambers, hidden sex rooms? Wow. This story reminds me of Scooby Doo. Well it does if you imagine the villian used his secrete lair for prostitutes rather than to scare off neighbors because there was really gold in the abandoned mine shaft. Does that make sense to anyone or am I just being weird here? Anyway, the article gives more tidbits about the hidden sex rooms so it’s definately worth checking out. I told Mr. Radical about this story and he says you need to login to read this story. Oddly, I didn’t have to but I don’t remember where I found the link. If you need a login go to Bug Me Not.
