Vito was slippin'!
Senator or Governor Corleone in his position can't afford to be made to look ridiculous!
in conjunction with
What did Michael want for Anthony?Extract: I've always believed that, if Vito'd had his way, Michael as Senator or Governor would have worked to legalized gambling at the national or state level, which would have "legitimized" Vito's heritage and vastly enriched the Corleones' coffers( whyMichael moved the family to Nevada anyway)
Extract: I don't see him walking away from the rich empire he created through gambling. He had to have a plan for Michael to help transition his empire to legitimacy--and continued wealth
Michael advocating law enforcement or “legalized gambling” when
- his works to legalized gambling would “vastly enrich the [criminal] Corleones' [his family and his] coffers” Money laundering
- his family still has the “criminal side” [“deadly violence” possession, bookmaking, murder and a lot more!] and nefarious power
- the rich empire his father created through illegal gambling keeps operating and profiteering without any criminal justice
