The adjective dissipated is used to describe people who've lost their moral center, and instead of following the rules of conventional morals, prefer to be utterly self-indulgent.

If you really want to lay into someone, use these synonyms and call him a "dissipated, dissolute, debauched, degenerate jerk."
