Applegrove: apparently they were Cuban (Americans?). My best guess is they wanted to start a revolution in order to get control of all the Cuban property that was confiscated from their families by Castro. And they wanted to get on the ground floor of said revolution. Not the first time the thought of untold $$$$ made people crazy. But it's just a guess.
