They are all the same, I was told this story by one of Bernie Ecclestones mechanics back in the day he was a big car dealer......they would go to an auction to buy fleets of cars, normally ex ford stock......Bernies Mechanics would go around and swap over some spark plug leads.....so when perspective buyers tried to start it it ran like a bag of bolts......as a consequence nobody would bid on the cars and Bernie would steal the lot at rock bottom prices.......
Colin Chapman was also from the same mould, the DeLorean embezzlement scandal was his final effort.
Walkinshaw was the same, but he made the mistake of screwing over a massive corporate bank, and they had the last laugh.
I'm sure there are many more stories.......
