"FINANCIER SAYS $200 MILLION LOAN APPROVED ON DAY DELOREAN JAILED." THE STORY STATES THAT LARRY WATTS, PRESIDENT OF MIDWEST FUNDING AND DEVELOPMENT CALLED DELOREANS OFFICE TWICE ON TUESDAY AND WAS TOLD HE WAS IN ROUTE TO CALIFORNIA AND THEY WOULD HAVE HIM RETURN THE CALL. THE NEXT THING THEY HEARD WAS HE WAS ARRESTED. THE LOAN WAS 100% APPROVED. Any thoughts? John Yeoman
