There’s that old saying about apples and how they don’t fall far from the tree. Sometimes they do and sometimes that apple decides to jump and fly away to make sure that they are not going to repeat the same mistakes that their parents have made. So here are some gangster’s kids who didn’t follow their father’s path and lived their own life.

Pablo Escobar a.k.a Don Pablo

We all know about Don Pablo that he is a drug lord and right now the whole world is speaking about him because of series ‘NARCOS’ which is made on his life. But now let’s talk about his son Juan Pablo which later he changed his name to Sebastian Marroquín and guess what he adopted this name from telephone book. Sebastian work as architect and he is author apart from this Marroquin has established his own organic line of clothes, “Escobar Henao”, using items from his father’s life as clothing highlights.

Drug trafficking destroyed my family,” Mr. Marroquin insists.

Al Capone a.k.a Scarface

If you think I’m talking about the guy who said, “ say HELLO! To my little friend” then you’ve completely mistaken my friend; here I’m talking about the America’s most notorious mobster who said, “I have built my organization upon fear.” Al Capone was a crime lord having said that his son Albert Francis Capone Jr. had adapted completely different lifestyle thou he believed that “ Everyone has a little larceny in them”. Albert was an expert marksman and became the member of the Florida Peace Officer’s Association. He never had a permanent job; he later became salesman dealing in used car, he also ran a Miami restaurant called the Grotto. One thing he no longer was: Albert Francis Capone Jr. in 1966 he legally changed his name to Albert Francis as he claims “ Just getting sick and tired of fighting the name

Frank Lucas a.k.a Drug Coffin

He is an American former heroin dealer, he was particularly known for cutting out middlemen in the drug trade. Now jaw drop moment is frank used to smuggled heroin using the coffins of dead American servicemen. He said “I wanted to be Donald trump rich.” I believe he also wishes to smuggle drugs in Donald’s coffin. His son Frank Lucas Jr. is a rapper and he also claims “ gangster will always pay the price for his deeds” he is popular singer and successful as it relates to wealth.

Meyer Lansky a.k.a Mob’s Accountant

He was a money man to the mob. He was the highest-ranking non-Italian in the American Mafia. To the Italians, being a Mafioso was a thing of honor. To the Jews it was a dirty and shameful business. And at this point I strongly support Italian view than Jewish. Meyer’s son Paul Lansky however, attended West Point University and ended up working for the U.S. Government, a he was enormously proud of.
