In 1991, Charles Cosby was selling ounces of cocaine on the inner-city streets of Oakland, California, he was living the new American Dream.
Then he wrote a fan letter to “Cocaine Godmother” Griselda Blanco, immortalized in Cocaine Cowboys – who was serving at a nearby federal prison. Six month later, he was a multi-millionaire.
Charles was not only running Blanco’s $40 million a year cocaine business, he was also her lover. When she recruited him to participate in a prison break that involved the kidnapping of JFK Jr., Charles knew he was in over his head.
