TL;DR Summary

Griselda Blanco, known as the "Cocaine Godmother," was a ruthless Colombian drug lord whose empire flooded Miami with cocaine, amassing $80 million monthly and being linked to around 200 murders. Her son, Michael Corleone Blanco, reflects on his upbringing in the drug-trafficking world and the luxury lifestyle it afforded. A Netflix series, "Griselda," depicts her reign, but has sparked controversy and a lawsuit from Blanco. Griselda's violent legacy in the Miami drug wars is remembered by law enforcement and residents, and her son aims to move past it and provide a safe environment for his family.
