Joe was the american version of Greg Lasrado. Too much money too quickly with absolutely no self esteem. The throwing money around, showing off, trying to get people to like him by giving them money, then when he got so full of himself he screwed anyone who he thought he was better than.
I had a lot of time for Joe in the early days - he was funny, and he has a really sweet little boy in there somewhere but the amount of chemicals that went in there are bound to turn someone into a mess. He fucked over a few friends of mine on his way out of the business, and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth when someone with that much money takes from someone without.
I'd love to see Joe scrap the drugs and turn his life into something useful - because there really was a decent guy in there once and I hope he doesn't go the path of our Aussie version and end up a common street junkie with nothing and nobody to show for his efforts.
Is he really playing beach volleyball and looking after himself? I'd buy *that* man a drink anyday ...
