that the madeof family could be involved in such a scandalous Ponzi scheme given their focus on their own business but as
5:37
the saying goes greed knows no bounds the success of his business was
5:43
mathematically and statistically impossible to achieve which legally triggered the sex suspicions and the

there was something very shady about his business after several investigations the truth emerged about Bernie's illegal
6:02
activities it also became clear that the entire company was a punzi scheme and

9:49
no other drug trafficker possessed access to longrange tunnels and distribution cells he leveraged this to
9:57
smuggle drugs directly into the United States making him the most successful distributor in the history of drug
10:04
trafficking this led to immense wealth although he was a notorious and extremely dangerous criminal his wealth
10:11
and power could not be ignored between 2009 and 2013 Forbes and
10:18
other Publications ranked him as one of the most influential people in the world and this was because the only person who
10:25
could rival him in terms of power status and wealth with was the infamous Pablo
10:31
escavar he was at the Pinnacle of the world and lived the dream of every aspiring drug trafficker having all the
10:38
power and resources to do whatever he wanted but such a lifestyle never goes
10:43
unpunished and in 1993 he was arrested in Guatemala and sentenced to 20 years in prison for
10:51
multiple charges of murder and drug trafficking however his stay in prison
10:56

longer exists but his fortune remains fascinating his wealth and the extent of
11:27
his Empire continue to captivate Intrigue at his Peak his net worth was
11:33
$15 billion but today it is only $4 billion it's astonishing because at his
11:40
height El Chapo ran a thriving drug trafficking operation earning up to $100
11:46
million a day grisela Blanco [Music]
11:51
$226 billion this name holds particular significance the infamous drug lord of
11:58
the Medellin cartel tell was a fierce woman known as the Black
12:03
Widow just like the renowned Pablo Escobar Griselda Restrepo Blanco was
12:09
born in mellan Colombia although she may not have been as overtly dangerous she
12:14
was not someone to be taken lightly any attempt to cross her was considered a fatal mistake born on February 15
12:22
1943 Griselda grew up in extreme poverty in Medellin which drove her into crime
12:28
to make ends meat from a young age she was involved in numerous crimes some of
12:34
which were more severe than one would expect from someone her age according to reports from her former lover Charles
12:41
Cosby Griselda was allegedly responsible for the kidnapping and murder of a child
12:46
in her neighborhood at the age of 11 by 13 she was already practicing
12:52
picklocking on the streets eventually she had to run away and live independently to escape the sexual
12:59
harassment from her mother's boyfriend if all the claims made by her former lover are accurate it is nearly
13:07
impossible to believe that Griselda was destined for anything other than a life of crime in 1970 Blanco decided to do
13:15
more for herself financially she immigrated to the United States using false passports by
13:22
1975 she was already involved in intense drug trafficking and had started her own
13:28
small cocaine distribution business despite all the obstacles she managed to
13:33
break into the industry which prepared her to become a significant influence in the cocaine trade between Colombia and
13:40
America over the years as a result of these activities Blanco became increasingly notorious
13:48
attracting the attention of federal authorities who began to take an interest in her she became the subject
13:54
of several investigations for multiple drug-related crimes when it appeared that the authorities
14:01
were closing in and it was clear they were starting to connect the dots Madame Blanco made a classic criminal maneuver
14:08
she fled to her home country her return to Colombia was brief and it seemed that
14:14
us authorities had taken a step back she returned to Miami with the intention of
14:19
finishing what she had started upon her return there was a wave of violence and
14:25
conflict one of the worst ever recorded in the country she was heavily involved
14:30
in the Cocaine Cowboys Wars and the drug war in Miami which resulted in numerous
14:36
casualties not sparing the lives of innocent citizens her drug trafficking saw great
14:42
success and she became one of the richest criminals of all time earning nearly $80 million a month and living
14:50
the life that every drug trafficker dreams of however even for Blanco everything acquired through illegitimate
14:57
means ends violently she was arrested on February 17 1985 by the da on multiple
15:05
charges of murder and Drug rated violence but was released in 2004 due to
15:10
her health it seems she took a quiet Hiatus trying to live under the radar
15:17
unfortunately in 2012 Blanco was shot and killed by a member of a rival gang
15:23
she remains remembered as one of the most dangerous criminals in history a name that residents of Colombia and
15:30
Miami will never forget at the time of her death her Fortune was estimated at
15:35
around $2 26 Cents billion making her one of the richest criminals in

history Frank Costello also known as the Prime Minister was one of the most
15:47
cunning and diabolical criminals the world has ever known the only thing he loved more than causing trouble was the

21:27
Carlo gamb o with a net worth of $400 million was a prominent figure in the
21:33
American Mafia and became the general superviser of all operations like his
21:39
predecessors he caused a lot of trouble but also earned a great deal of money
21:44
ambino was involved in the criminal world for 50 years and until his death
21:49
he could claim to have enjoyed being a wealthy gang leader Carlo Gambino also
21:55
known as Don Carlo was an Italian American Crime Boss Of The Gambino
22:01
family born on August 24 1902 in poo Italy he came from a criminal family
22:09
with some of his brothers also being involved in organized crime the size and
22:14
status of the Gambino family should not be underestimated as it is one of the five families of the American Mafia that
22:21
oversees organized crime in New York and other parts of the country they cause
22:26
trouble for everyone primarily being involved in gambling extortion lone
22:32
sharking fraud embezzlement racketeering and other nefarious crimes that
22:37
generated significant profits as the leader of the entire organization he received the majority of
22:45
the money and believe me it was a lot at the time of his death Don Carlo had a
22:50
Fortune of approximately $400 million allowing him to maintain a lavish
22:56
lifestyle that most could only dream of his status as a wealthy man made him the
23:02
Envy of many and several films and television shows were made about him
23:08
however no one could forget the part where he was a hardened criminal and Thief Don Carlo being one of the richest
23:15
criminals in history might have been expected to spend a long time Behind Bars yet he hardly ever visited prison
23:23
during his 50 years of criminal activity the only time he was convicted of tax
23:28
fraud he spent 22 months in prison which shocked everyone as he could easily
23:34
afford to pay the taxes he owed given his wealth but the heart of a criminal
23:39
is naturally selfish and greedy so it should come as no surprise that Don
23:45
Carlo was the very embodiment of the Untouchable and the inaccessible with
23:50
over 500 soldiers working under his command in his Empire it was nearly
23:56
impossible to reach him Carlo could only be touched if God will it and that is
24:01
precisely what happened on October 15 1976 he passed away in the most natural
24:07
way possible in his living room the day before Don Carlo had watched the news as
24:13
his favorite team the New York Yankees won the American League Championship and
24:19
the next day he was no more although the Gambino family chose an heir to Don
24:24
Carlos Throne none could match the prowess of Don Carlos himself or wield
24:29
