Nice point Hollywood Hagan, I never thought of anything like that...but it could be possible that the Rosatto Bros thought they were carrying out an order from Michael. Although didn't Roth outrank Michael in the world of the mob?
Outrank? They were not in one collective "Mob". Michael is the capo di tutti capo of LCN, and Roth is an entrepreneur of sorts. Although they are in on a deal to take over gaming in Cuba, they were not partners in one "Mob". Roth was based on Meyer Lansky, who was an integral part in Lucky Luciano's National Crime Syndicate, but there appears to be no syndicate in GFII; just Michael and his Cosa Nostra mob.[/b]
Yes I understand that. I think I should have used a better term than "outrank." It seemed to me that Roth was more powerful than Michael. With the whole talk about Michael being Roth's "successor" (which was of course all BS), it seemed that Roth held more power than the Corleone Family did at the time. I could be wrong however, that was just the impression that I got. I've never seen any explanation of it. I guess then that Michael would be more powerful huh? Did Roth have any kind of organization of his own? Besides Ola, I can't really recall any...
