Former Cocaine godmother Griselda Blanco was not only responsible for hundreds of murders in Miami and trafficking over 300 tons of cocaine but she was also plotting to kidnap the late John F. Kennedy, Jr., during her reign of terror.

Rewind: Griselda Blanco was responsible for creating the drug pipeline in Miami and she netted $8 million dollars per month in drug proceeds. She was also a female serial killer who only used female mules. She also enjoyed bi-sexual orgies.

It took authorities 16 years to find witnesses willing to testify against her because she was so feared.

Blanco became the most powerful female trafficker in history and was often referred to as the “Female Scarface.”

Title: shut up, seriously?

This is my life, I just tell it like it is…..

This morning I woke up at 7:00 and was at the Y working out by 7:55, I went home as usual and was just getting ready to get in the shower when I got a phone call. It was another RESTRICTED phone call, but I picked it up anyways. As soon as I did, I was blown away. I recognized the voice right away, and when he told me who he was for himself, when I actually heard the audio play into my ears, I actually had the breath taken out of me.Now you might be thinking, well all this is a bit much Mikey, but I kid you not. Charles called me up and we spoke for a good 34 minutes and 26 seconds this morning about subjects ranging from his past life, to positively affecting the youth of today. What a crazy experience, just 2 days ago I was watching a movie about this guy, talking with my friends about how it would be crazy to be able to meet him. And then I get to talk with him on the phone. Not only that, but Charles & his wife said that they admired the things I have done… WHAT?!?!? It is so interesting to me, to see how everything unfolded. Right from the get go, when we (my friends and I) were in Blockbuster, it was strange. Josh(friend) wanted to watch Harold and Kumar 2 Escape from Guantanamo Bay…but I thought that looked stupid and mindless so I was very defiant as soon as the suggestion was made. We kept looking and Josh kept trying to talk me into Harold & Kumar. Well, we look and look and look and finally get down to the last wall of movies. Tony who was quiet the whole time says, “hey, look it’s Cocaine Cowboys 2.” We all agreed & the rest is history. All the little things really do make a difference.

In the early 1980s, Charles Cosby made a living selling crack on the streets of Oakland, California and quickly found himself nestled at the top of the food chain. Fate would have him write a letter to Griselda Blanco, the notorious cocaine “Godmother” serving twenty years hard time for the illegal trafficking of narcotics. In a whirlwind six months, Cosby was a multi-millionaire, Blanco’s lover, and acting head of her billion-dollar cocaine smuggling empire.

Cosby’s story is told in the documentary “Cocaine Cowboys 2: Hustlin’ with the Godmother” released by Magnolia Home Entertainment on home video this past July 29. DVDTOWN’s own Tom Landy had a chance to check in with Charles Cosby, the legendary “Mayor of Brookfield Village” and chat a bit about his story:
