The only ones who were were fooled were Fredo and Connie. Vito was on to carlo from the beginning when he told Tom to NEVER give him anything important, but to give him a living and to never discuss the family business with him. Santino was on to him, and was on his way to kill him. Michael was also on to him once he got back from Sicily, if not sooner.


The "farce" Michael refers to was Carlo provoking a fight to lure Sonny out to his death.

It fooled Sonny.
