Answer: He was not convicted of anything! DeLorean successfully defended himself against drug trafficking charges, showing that his alleged involvement was a result of entrapment by federal agents. DeLorean was acquitted on all counts, but his company was ruined.

Nothing. He was caught on tape, video and audio and was acquitted anyway, go figure.
