Illionaire's Ben Woodcock busted on drugs charges, skips the country?

He called his label Illionaire but it seems co-founder Ben Woodcock may have been too impatient to wait to turn seven figures via a legitimate fashion business. According to The West Australian, on August 19 Woodock was charged with possession of methylamphetamines with intent to sell or supply after being pulled over while driving his mum’s BMW with A$780,000 worth of drugs allegedly stashed in his underpants. And it gets worse. Woodcock failed to appear in court yesterday, is alleged to have fled the country and now has Interpol on his back. Way to go. Needless to say if Woodcock were to be busted with drugs in any number of countries surrounding Australia he could be facing a far worse prospect than a little jail time downunder. Woodcock launched Illionaire in Perth in 2006 with Kat Grace.

  1. my name is kat grace and I have recently discovered this post that has my name attached to this story with which I was not involved at all. It is extremely detrimental to my privacy and has had negative effects on my work prospects and impacted my family life. I would sincerely request that you delete my tags and name from this blog. It is over ten years ago and it is still haunting me. I pray that you understand the situation you have put me in by including my name with something that I am not associated with in the slightest. Please remove this asap! thank you
