I reckon he need not have gone into hiding and could have weathered the storm
Maybe so but it would have been brutal....Pretty goddamn bad with all the other Families lining up against the Corleones even with Michael in exile let alone....and Vito still in the hospital
As regards investing his wealth legitimately, could he have got licenses in his name for legal casinos in Nevada from the Gaming Commission with his nefarious history?
Did Michael have licences in his name / ownership, prior and only later forced to hide his controlling interests
Anthony's party -
Geary: The Corleone family has done very well here in Nevada You own or you control, two major hotels in Vegas one in Reno
The licenses were grandfathered in, so there is no problem with the gaming commission
Senate hearing -
Questadt: Is it true that you have a controlling interest [no mention of ownership] in three of the major hotels in Las Vegas
Michael: No it is not true I own stock in some of the hotels there but very little [hidden]
