Turnbull offers a plausible premise in which..."Michael tries to establish a firm line between himself and Sonny, but Sonny wants to be part of the explosively growing legal gaming business."
If Michael truly wanted the Corleone family to be legitimate, I don't think he would have left
anyone from his
immediate family in New York to run the olive oil business on a day-to-day basis. I think Michael would have eventually moved Sonny out to Las Vegas and placed him as an executive at...wait for it...
The Montecito Resort and Casino.
