I think Felix Dennis was a bit of both. He certainly claimed to have
spent millions of quid on cocaine and hookers in the 80s and there are

The interesting thing about the OZ trial, apart from the defendants
turning up in school-girl outfits,  was that two of them were defended 
by John Mortimer QC - who went on to write the Rumpole Of The Bailey stories.
