Is Big Mack Gangsters and Gold Based On A True Story?
In simple and short words, yes, the story of Big Mack Gangsters and Gold is based on a real-life story of a man named Donald Stellwag.
Donald Stellwag is a German man, and he was quite ordinary before he went extremely famous and started to make it to the headlines all of a sudden in the late 90s. He was not having any dire complications in his life. However, fate decides that she will turn the wheel of Stellwag’s life upside down, and that sets the beginning of the hurdles that Stellwag had to face in the course of his life.
Stellwag was always a victim of bullying because of his body shape and size. I know, this sounds extremely pathetic, but this is what he faced back in the day. According to the reports, due to the extreme bullying that he encountered, he had to leave his hometown and move to Frankfurt. His life does not get better in Frankfurt. If any, his life takes a turn for the worst.
No sooner he moved to Frankfurt than he made it to the local news station as a suspect in a bank robbery. The reasons why he was made the main suspect were mainly due to his physical attributes. Stellwag’s tall physique, obese body, and slightly different earlobe made him the popular suspect. He tried his best to convince the police of his innocence but nothing worked.
As a result, without doing any crime, Stellwag gets involved in this robbery case and gets apprehended by the police. He is proven guilty of robbery and put behind the bars for nine years. His innocence was not taken into consideration. However, his story does not end here. What is more heartbreaking is, even after catching the real culprit, Stellwag was not released. He had to serve his term in jail.
