History

History reveals that on Jan. 26, 1996, Dave Schultz, one of America’s most accomplished Olympic Freestyle wrestlers, was murdered in cold blood by John du Pont on his Pennsylvania estate in Newtown Square, PA, DuPont was once the heir to one of America’s greatest fortunes instead chose to become historically renown as the Madman Millionaire Murderer.

John E. du Pont sought to own everything and everyone as an heir to the du Pont family fortune, one of the wealthiest families in America, and he was victoriously in the wrestling community in turning $3 million of blood money into the U.S.A. Wrestling buying its name and brand. He ran one of the premier wrestling training camps in the world – a camp titled Foxcatcher that, under the leadership of Olympic gold medalist Dave Schultz, farmed champion after champion.

But John du Pont had demons with his finger on the trigger –  its murder has remained a secret. And with egregious betrayal, the 2014 Oscar-nominated hype film Foxcatcher never revealed its true story only its well-planned storied agenda.
