That's the problem. I have forgotten that detail of the story. I tried to find references to this story online, but Google has failed me. Maybe you'll have more luck. It seems like all of the search results come up either related to his presidential bid, or his obituary. I remember that the company in question is now a household name, but I don't remember exactly which one.

To be honest this sounds like an urban legend with questionable morality associated with it (baiting recovering alcoholic for money).
