Thugs to Riches

From Halfway Gangster to Big-Shot Businessman, the Mr. Z Story

By: Mr. Z

Narrated by: Daniel Houle

This is the life story of a naughty and rebellious boy who grew up in extreme poverty in the dusty alleys of the Jewish ghetto in Tehran, made his way to a kibbutz in Israel, went through hair-raising adventures in the underworld of Berlin, smuggled people from East Berlin and was expelled from the city as well as from West Germany, and after many hardships achieved impressive success in the United States.

The story spans four countries, three continents, and seven decades, and is filled with escapades – relationships with women, drugs, real estate, law and justice, and health and spirituality.

Mr. Z is a visionary, a daring man with a feverish mind, who finds a way out of any trouble he encounters while touching all ends of the spectrum: innocence and kindness versus revenge and deceit, wild sexual encounters versus the love of his life, a criminal mind that leaves judges helpless, and more, and more.

Mr. Z is a natural storyteller who invites us on a fascinating journey through his breathtaking life.
