Griselda's Coke Business Takes Off

Griselda Blanco and Alberto Bravo were the first Colombians to sell Medellin Cartel cocaine in the United States. At the height of their success, they made around 10 million a week. She realized that female mules were way less likely to attract police attention in searches than males. In 1971, one of her corsets was found in a woman's bathroom at the Miami International Airport.
