Birthday: John Delorean

Although he was an excellent automotive engineeer, John Delorean is most noted for a sting cocaine operation in the 1980's. Supposedly, Delorean smuggled pounds of the drug in the panels of his stainless steel creations. However, none of that has been proven to be true. The charges against Delorean were actually for money laundering and he was quickly acquitted of all charges due to entrapment by the FBI. However, his company was already on the brink of failure. Not even the use of one his cars in the very popular movie Back to the Future was enough to keep the company afloat.

Since the indictment Delorean has tried to maintain a low profile. However he has spent much of his time in court due to a number of divorces and bankrupcies. In 1999 he lost his 434 acre estate in New Jersey. Currently he is single and still living in NJ.

If he died today he would be worth 20 points for Dave.
