A judge called him a kingpin of the Cali Cartel, a major Colombian criminal organization that distributed cocaine all along the Eastern Seaboard. He was given a sentence of 20 years to life in federal prison. That night changed both of our lives and our family forever. A part of me was incredulous. &ldquo;My dad was the head of the Cali Cartel,&rdquo; I&rsquo;d often repeat to myself. It was like finding out that your dad was Jessie James. Instantly, there was a constant media frenzy assaulting our daily lives. We were famous, but also poor once again.
