He is still a heroin addict. Hes also a hypocrite. Speaks against commercialization, globalization, even artists making money, but yet himself married a woman who was a banker and used her salary to pay for his coke, and then after getting fired from the news started working for adcom, a company that makes ads for pepsi/coke, the very same companies he used to write against. The interns in Adcom on fb also said he smells really bad 
I know alot about this character and have written to him lots of times. He can also be found on orkut praising himself using other names.
