Yup Delorean was trying to raise cash for his business supposedly. That bust had a ripple effect. Max Mermelsteim aka el jefe was arrested for dealing with Delorean. Then Max told on the "cocaine cowboys" Jon Roberts and Mickey Monday.

I have read Jon Roberts book and Max Mermelsteins book called the man who made it snow. Both are good. Max and Jon differ on a few things but Mickey Munday backs up Roberts stories.
