Michigan millionaire Marty Tibbitts lived a dream life. He was the CEO of a successful business and a flight hobbyist who founded the World Heritage Aviation Museum in Detroit. But the Drug Enforcement Agency said Tibbitts lived a double life, taking on the name “Dale Johnson,” financing an international drug empire, and designing submarine drones to slip past drug interdiction officers in Europe.

Tibbitts, the former CEO of Clementine Live Answering Service, died in 2018 in a plane crash at the age of 50. Tibbitt’s life as “Dale Johnson” came to light when federal authorities arrested Tibbitts’ alleged partner in crime, Ylli Didani. As first reported by Detroit News, the indictment against Didani detailed a world of drugs, guns, and narco submarines spanning the world.
