No, Gerald Scotti was a former FBI agent who quit his job because of 
John DeLorean's arrest. When it was stated the JZD was set up, that 
isn't an exaggeration. BEFORE JZD was arrested, the FBI had already 
sent out requests to reporters for a news conference, and had 
champange ready. DeLorean's only contact with drugs were when he 
picked up, and then dropped the kilo back into the suit case. As soon 
as this took place, agents in the ajoining room were cheering, 
toasting to each other, and bragging about promotions and fame. 
Scotti who worked on the case knew that not only did JZD have no 
interest in a drug deal, and not only was he pressured into the deal 
with threats people of murdering his family, but Scotti new the case, 
and specificly saw that in the planning of the so called "drug deal" 
niether JZD, nor DMC had any part of the deal in it's architecture. 
He didn't put up any money, he did launder any money, and he didn't 
traffic any product. And this is what was proven to a jury, with the 
help of Gerald Scotti. He saw on the monitors the whole bust as it 
went down live. He new that what the FBI was doing to DeLorean was 
wrong, and that it would ruin his life forever both professionally, 
and personally. So in disgust, he quit shortly after, and ended up 
testifying for the defense to help save John DeLorean. The rest is 
history.

To read about the man committing a suicide/murder is to say the 
least, beyond shocking. I don't know much about the man, but in 
pictures I've seen of him, he appeared pretty stable to me.

In the end, I guess we'll have to write this in as yet another 
strange turn in the DeLorean story...
