Tahoe shooting was a brilliant plan but executed poorly Too many variables
Huge and unnecessary risks just for the "New York connection."
How'd Michael know it was Roth?Roth undoubtedly wanted Michael dead soonest but blinded by revenge, Roth outsmarted himself with the Tahoe shooting plan and messed up big time!
If Michael had died?As Turnbull posted All Roth would have to do would be to sit back and let them fight each other
Then pick up all the Corleone business after all the bloodshed
If Michael had survived
without the obvious blind Freddie "New York connection." set up, considering - Roth played this one beautifully Roth had Michael completely relaxed and confident, in their friendship - Michael may not have figured,
Michael: It was Hyman Roth that tried to have me killed I know it was him
And nobody, figures out it was Roth all along
- Also Evita's original question
why there had to be these assassins in the first place “when whoever killed them [the assassins] could have [easily] carried out the shooting himself Simpler” No doubt less risky less complicated Makes no sense whatsoever
Again, Roth's fixation in framing Pentangeli was doomed for failure
