Largest Ecstasy Dealer in U.S. History Reveals How He Moved 40 Million Pills, Beat the Feds in Trial (Video)
In this 20 October 2024 video, host Johnny Mitchell talks with Louis Ziskin who shares his incredible story of being one of the biggest drug traffickers in the United States during the late 1990s. Operating a massive ecstasy empire, Ziskin imported millions of pills from Europe, working with dangerous criminal organizations like the Chinese Triads and the Italian mafia.
Ziskin details the high-stakes world of drug trafficking, the massive DEA bust that brought his operation down in 2000, and how he managed to represent himself in court, ultimately beating a life sentence. He talks about the fear, betrayal, and close calls he faced while running his operation, as well as his eventual transformation from a criminal to a successful tech entrepreneur who now supports prison reform and addiction recovery programs.
