... unless you're doing rock-star quantities and living in expensive hotel rooms with a dozen hookers- or a hopeless, unemployable addict like Benny Boy- you're not spending millions.

Methinks Bomber invested the substantial amount of money he made from property in a substantial amount of drugs.

It really doesn't.
Cuzzy had property too. It took him a bit longer than Bomber has had so far though. Cuzzy was still relatively OK finances wise until about the last 2 years.

Whitten - anyone who has seen the video roast he did knows why, also some shocking stuff alleged about his treatment of women.

Bradman - nasty anti-Catholic bigot.
Both of them are dead you can post away... Whitten used to beat up his wife + carried on numerous affairs. Bradman being a bigot against Catholics was just a sign of the times. It was more the way he avoided jail for dodgy stock broking and the way he acted during the WSC.

True, not just beat her up, beat the shit out of her.

Not just that, it was reported he made millions (>$5m) on property deal at Armstrong’s Creek near Torquay. Couple of other football people were involved.
would depend what share he actually had in it but yeah he must have spent alot to be broke. but then you have to wonder why he was lodging dodgy blokes trafficing drugs in his house.

Honestly though Bomber must have earnt plenty of money over the years in the football industry. Why would he put his hand up to be a drug trafficker?
Would suspect his defence would be that he was just using a serious amount of drugs himself. Doesn't explain why has drug traffickers lodging his in house, though presumably that is because they were providing him with the level of supply he required.

I can see a lot of people saying "but would a guy with so much money become a drug trafficker?"

I was thinking the same thing and after thinking about it and checking the facts that we know of, it is possible that he was not a kingpin style drug trafficker but must involved in a minor way. The police can charge a person with drug trafficking if that person simply gives someone a valium. There are many levels of drug trafficking, but they are all called "drug trafficking"

They said that his DNA was on a bag of meth and an LSD tablet. Does this prove he was trafficking the stuff? Maybe it was his own personal stash. He was living with a younger guy who has ties to bikies. It could be possible the other guy was doing the trafficking on the larger scale and Bomber was just tied up in it through personal use. In other words, Bomber was not trafficking anything himself, but getting his supply from this guy and turning a a blind eye to what the guy was up to - hence he can be charged for trafficking because he allowed it to happen in his house and didn't go to the police.

It will all come out I'm sure, but I wouldn't put him in the same category as Pablo Escobar just yet. Cops will charge people with anything these days, and media loves to pump up a story.

Cuzzy had property too. It took him a bit longer than Bomber has had so far though. Cuzzy was still relatively OK finances wise until about the last 2 years.
Cuzzy had a couple of houses - the property Bomber had, even recently, was majorly rezoned. We're talking nearly eight figures here, and that's just what's public.

Either he's got a live-in drug dealer chef, or he's supplementing his income while getting high off his own supply.

he sounds like a piece of work from all accounts. Peter Brock was the same, both of them have been lionized after their death which is kind of sad considering what they were like behind closed doors.

I don't buy this idea he ran out of money or something or had debts.

A lot of people have lots of money, a nice house to live in and others to sustain a good easy lifestyle, and a job that's a decent mix of easy and enough to keep you occupied. And yet they still want more money and through a heady mix of ego and opportunity feel happy enough to take the gamble. I lean toward the latter than anything else.

Lucky he's not in Indonesia. Anyone remember those two dopey Australian flogs who got whacked for trafficking over there?
Barlow and Chambers. The greatest Australian band of all time, T.I.S.M., mentioned them in a song about heroin addiction called 'They Shoot Heroin Don't They', along with Manikato and Big Fallou!

Only T.I.S.M. could mention those four in the same song.
