Just three days ago, the prolific Instagram poster posted a photo of himself with a smiling Katie Holmes, captioning, ‘They’re all dressed up and places to go. Great shot – great day.

The day before, he had been posting pictures of himself with famous restaurateur Giuseppe Cipriani and proud of their 40-year friendship after meeting their parents.

Ironically, for a man who now finds himself on the wrong side of the law, last week he posted his praise of New York law enforcement and a video collaboration between civil rights activist Al Sharpton and New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly.

In 2005, he was featured in Forbes Magazine, “Forbes 400”, and was named Ernst & Young “Entrepreneur of the Year”.
