That birthday party "anointing" of Michael was an insurance policy for Roth. If his plan to have Michael whacked had succeeded, and people started pointing the finger at him, he could say, "What, me, have Michael killed? Why, I loved him like my son. I was gonna turn over my entire Havana gaming empire to him--just ask any of those thugs who were at my birthday party."


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.
