Fredo's grudge against Michael made him fair game for Roth's treachery. Fredo's perceived weakness and helplessness were part of his attractiveness to Roth in his plot to kill Michael--who'd suspect Fredo?
Fredo in exile would be fair game for a smarter, more powerful gangster plotting against Michael.
Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � 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.
