The author investigates the allegations about Nicholas’s out-of-control world: the parade of prostitutes, the spiking of clients’ drinks with Ecstasy, and the secret lair he built underneath the Orange County mansion he shared with his wife and kids.

Nicholas is the largest donor to both campaigns. Neither campaign has returned his contributions. Read the full story, from Vanity Fair, here.
