Level 10 · 3 mo agoSo she burned two million dollars in cash just to keep warm and named her son Michael Corleone. She really thought she was living in a movie. That kid watched his father get shot dead right next to him and she just stroked his hair like nothing happened.

Level 5 · 3 mo agoSo Rivi the hitman who testified against Griselda was having phone sex with two secretaries at the prosecutors office and that's what got her off a death sentence. The most feared drug lord in history saved by horny phone calls.
