Today's Blind Items - In The Shadows

Despite its proximity, this person has never wanted the glow of fame. At one point in time, she was the most famous name in the world. It was brief, but she was there for all the world to see. Since then, she has been in the shadows. Her last name is A+ list. It is recognized by generations of people. In today's society, people still recognize it, but not to the extent it was once held. Across Europe and the rest of the world outside North America, people still know it. She is at a level of riches that most people can't comprehend and has been that way her whole life. People assume she has nothing to do with the sprawling empire of her money, but they would be wrong. She recognizes how her family made their fortune and follows that same philosophy today. Because she moves in such rarefied circles, no one would dare question her about the activities of her companies and how they traffic people from one continent to Europe through the same routes used by her ancestors. That is how they made their money. No one would question she was in charge of a huge drug smuggling route between South America and Europe, again using many of the same trade routes her family has used for generations. In the last couple of years there was a hiccup in her shadow plan. She was forced to briefly emerge from the shadows. She will never forgive a certain person for doing that and he will end up dead. No mystery about it. He will be murdered. No trying to make it look like something else. When the time is right, his throat will be slashed or he will be gunned down. No one crosses her.
