Federal authorities revealed during the trial of a drug ring's leader that the massive cartel had been financed and directed from the shadows by a billionaire Detroit CEO who passed away in a tragic plane crash back in 2018.
Marty Tibbitts, who died at age 50, was the CEO of Clementine Live Answering Service, but also had a double-life of illegal drug activity across the entire world.
Prior to his brutal passing in 2018 while on a joyride inside his vintage fighter jet in Wisconsin, Tibbitts had been planning to develop magnetic subs that would attach to cargo ships and transport loads of cocaine to European shores where formed-fishermen would recover them.
In daylight, Tibbitts was a veneered businessman and aviation amateur who founded and financed the World Heritage Aviation Museum in Detroit.
Following the revelation, neighbors of the undercover drug-dealer’s $6.4 million; 12, 000 square-foot Grosse Point Park residence, remain in disbelief.
“I think anybody who would hear something like this would be shocked,” one said.
