One can only imagine what is going through the mind of Michael Corleone Blanco. On Monday afternoon, his mother, Griselda Blanco -- the queen of Miami's Cocaine Cowboys era -- was slain by an assassin as she walked out of a butcher shop in Medellín. Meanwhile, Michael has been on house arrest since May 12 of last year, when he was busted on two felony counts of cocaine trafficking and conspiracy to traffic in cocaine. If he wants to attend his mom's funeral in Colombia, he will need permission from a judge.

According to his friend and business manager, Cristian Rios, Michael had not seen his mother since she was released from state prison and deported to Colombia in 2004, though he spoke to her regularly on the phone and sent her home videos of himself with his wife and two children.

Last year, I chronicled Michael's life, which reads like a Shakespearean tragedy involving the drug trade. His mom named him after Michael Corleone, the main character in the gangster epic The Godfather and its two sequels. But there was no romanticism in the violence that Blanco's scion witnessed firsthand.

For instance, when he was 5 years old, he saw his father, Dario Sepulveda, get killed by men dressed as police officers in Medellín one day in 1983. Two of Griselda's pals -- ex-smuggler Max Mermelstein and former hit man Jorge "Rivi" Ayala -- subsequently told law enforcement officials that she was the one who ordered the hit on her husband, who had left to Colombia with Michael and another woman. Rios, Michael's confidante, vehemently denies Griselda was involved in Sepulveda's murder.

Did we really think he was going to become an insurance salesman? C'mon.

doesn't one of her sons make music now? I thought this was the one but I guess not..

I'm pretty sure he's the last Blanco left, his mother, father, and like four of his brothers were all killed

Griselda Blanco was finally gunned down by two guys on a motorcycle with uzi's in an open-air shopping center in Colombia in late 2012, not long ago at all

safe to say his name probably doesn't mean shit anymore in drug trafficking circles especially after his mom died.

You think with his family connects that he would be able to find a credible source to get coke from.. Not be seeking out some dea agent to try and get kilos from. He got fucked.
I'm curious as to how much money his mother left him behind? If any. I've heard estimates she was worth billions and if that's majorly inflated she obcviously had serious millions. Does anyone know if he's got tons of cash hidden away? Or if he didn't get to reap the benefits of his mom being a lunatic.. Especially since he's the only son left alive. All his brothers got murdered years ago as well as his father and most recently his mother.

Im not trying to play the jerk or whatev,but how the fk would anyone on theese boards, credible or not know if the guy had his loot stashed, thats the point, hiding it, so no one knows, just saying

@silent partners! lol right, did we ever think a guy named after a character in the godfather was going to get legit, nevermnd the part where his mom was feared respected stone cold killer. but ye wld think he have better chances of avioding dea than most, but i swear these feds target the big names kids to make headlines, like vinny georgous kids, gotti jr etc. guess ya better off if ya dads just a avg gambler, low earner theese days
