Pretty close to it, Ice. But Michael had coglioni. He knew that neither he nor his family would be safe until he found out the traitor--and he had to take incredible risks to uncover him. Basically, his back was against the wall. I think the choice (in his mind) was: buy more time by tempting Roth with the $2 million and take my chances in Cuba--or face certain death in Tahoe if I can't identify (and stop) the traitor.
