The villain had somehow gotten a copy of this in the 60's and used it to make millions of dollars, ruining the town in the process.

The main antagonist, Biff Tannen, traveled to the future and stole a sports almanac that had all the sports scores for a three decade period. He went back to the past and bet on all the games, made a fortune, and opened up his own mega casino.

It's been said by the film's producers that the character of Biff was heavily inspired by Donald Trump.

Michael J Fox's character had taken the DeLorean into the future. The elderly Biff Tannen character somehow realized what that Fox's character could time travel and stole the DeLorean and traveled back to the 1950's and gave his younger self the sports almanac from the future, and explained to his teenage self that he could use the Almanac to become rich by sports betting, and therefore changing the future self.

(Particularly the horrible future he was able to engineer by getting ahold of a sports almanac from the future.)
