Quote Originally posted by Don Cardi: Somehow I think that Hagen had a lot to do with the decision to allow Frankie to atone for his sin of betrayal. I also think that Michael realized that he indirectly put Frankie in that position of betrayal because of the whole Roth scenerio. Don Cardi Uh, guys... The only reason Michael gave Frankie the "opportunity" to "atone" was because, as Hagen said, "the FBI had him airtight on an Air Force base...no way we can get to him." Michael wanted Frankie dead, plain and simple. Since he couldn't arrange for Frankie to be assassinated, he instead had Tom convince Frankie to kill himself. And there was an implicit threat: Kill yourself and your family will be taken care of. Don't kill yourself, and... Ntra la porta tua lu sangu ï¿½ sparsu, E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu... E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
