Delorean never sold cocaine. He was arrested in a sting operation mounted by the FBI -- in conjunction with the DEA, Customs Service, and the police departments of Ventura and Los Angeles, California.

In 1984, DeLorean was acquitted of all charges after a federal judge ruled that the FBI operation had been a clear case of entrapment.

Delorean was seeking capitol investment for his car company during the resession of the early eighties. He never sold cocaine, he was looking for a backer and a paid informant for the FBI needed to give the FBI a case or he was going to loose his meal ticket.
