Zachariah Greenberg, a local 45-year-old unhoused man with a 40K TikTok following on his current account The Muha Mafia _muha_mafia_ account, with plenty of Facebook and Next Door detractors finding him creepy, has been making new videos today, after his release from Washoe County jail, following a Christmas Day arrest on an assault charge.
His latest live video today said he had been thrown out of a local mall.
One person texted Our Town Reno previously that he had been live streaming on Christmas Day, while interacting with a former coworker at Reno Sparks Cab before getting arrested. Earlier in the day he had made a video showing himself waking up in a sleeping bag saying “Man, it’s 6 a.m. and I’m already faded.”
Our Town Reno has received messages both for and against him in recent weeks, with some finding him funny and full of insights. Others feel he needs help, while some consider him dangerous.
Jamie Hemingway from the Washoe County Library System had previously confirmed to Our Town Reno he has been “temporarily suspended from the library for not following library policy.” We asked for additional details about his suspension which started in mid December but did not get any.
Internet research also brings up a local road rage incident and shooting a gun into a ceiling, with multiple restraining orders and elder abuse charges filed against him in Orange County previously.
He had been making TikTok videos from the downtown library for a while. His other regular spot to make videos, including some with young employees and teenage shoppers, has been at Meadowood Mall.
We contacted Meadowood Mall, who forwarded us to corporate headquarters, where we left a message but did not hear back.
“Man this muha has gotten me faded,” is one of his signature lines. He says he’s received free products from the Muha CBD company due to his TikTok promotions. A previous TikTok account he ran which is no longer active was called High and Happy Too.
His signature look is wearing a beanie with the letters UNC, while many commenters call him unc in their comments.
Greenberg often walks around the UNR area, with one recent video saying he wanted to be invited to a sorority party. He also says he won’t date older women who have deeply disappointed and infuriated him, and wants to date younger women. Commenters on northern Nevada mom groups also complained of a video in which he was wearing only boxers, and one in which he said he was walking around inside a local school with weed-related products on him.
Greenberg talks about being unhoused by choice, and documents his daily life, repeatedly going to the mall and walking around different neighborhoods. In his most recent videos he said jail wasn’t that bad. “They don’t have the cat food sandwiches anymore,” he said in a Dec. 26th video.
In a live video from early this afternoon with 2k viewers, he said he got his stuff back, including “his paraphernalia.”
He then got angry saying he could have taken on three security guards at the mall he was at today as he walked away, demeaning their physical appearance. “Where am I going to get 86’ed next?” he asked. “Where my haters at?”
“UNC chill” a commenter wrote, while he blocked and swore at those sending negative comments. “This puffin gets me coughing,” he concluded after he coughed, while saying he was waiting for his “soccer mom haters.”
