In this revealing interview, Lewis Ziskin 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.
