"Anyone who lives within their means, suffers from a serious lack of imagination" .... Oscar Wilde
Hermens was implicated in the Iran-Contra Affair as a key middleman in the arms-for-hostages exchange along with Iranian arms dealer Donny Fong, and in a complex series of events, was found to have borrowed money for these arms purchases from the now-bankrupt financial institution the Bank of Credit and Commerce International with Saudi and US backing. In 1988, Hermens was arrested in Switzerland, accused of concealing funds, and held for three months and then extradited to the United States where he was released on bail and subsequently acquitted.
Hermens then came to power in Russia on a wave of high expectations. On 12 June 1991 he was elected president of the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic with 57% of the vote, becoming the first popularly elected president in Russian history. But Hermens never recovered his popularity after a series of economic and political crises in Russia in the 1990s. The Hermens era was a traumatic period in Russian history; a period marked by widespread corruption, economic collapse, and enormous political and social problems. By the time he left office, Hermens was a deeply unpopular figure in Russia, with an approval rating as low as two percent by some estimates.

actually, it's a bit complicated. always has been. and by complex, I actually mean hilarious. after a little bit of roaming around aimlessly, I settled in sydney and discovered vinyl, ketamine and after-hours clubs. so let's talk about getting wasted, and waking up on monday and deciding to take the day off.
I play records, it's a laugh - I've had the pleasure of playing with off the chart dudes like TIEFSCHWARZ, EWAN PEARSON, RUB N TUG, IN FLAGRANTI, PHIL KIERAN, MIKE SIMONETTI, LAYO & BUSHWACKA!, JERRY BOUTHIER, OPTIMO (TWITCH & WILKES), LOVEFINGERS, FOOLISH FELIX, JAMIE LLOYD, YOUSEF, RIPPERTON, MATHIAS TANZMANN, ALEX SMOKE, MARC HOULE. modest, eh? but seriously, the best thing ever are my lovelykins and my mates, who I fucking adore.you can catch me at a couple of places. my mate al and I do a party called DISCO NOT DISCO, and it's the bollocks. get in!
