Two things that came into play: Bernie was a 3 time looser and no deals could be made. Besides, Bernie would never rat - period!

Lenny "ratted" in 1999 after the only person that would have dealt with him the "old fashion way" died in 1998.

The only question that I really don't have the answer for is did Lenny get or even need permission from Michael to put out a contract on Ernie, who was not a made man?
