And btw what would make Ola think Fredo was privy to whether or not Frankie was on the level with the Rosato deal?
DT, I think that Fredo was Ola's only source of such info. However, with Fredo in Nevada and Frankie in NY, it does seem quite a stretch for Ola to think that at all. But, as I stated, who else cold Ola turn to?
I guess Ola had no one else to whom he could turn, which leads me to speculate that maybe Fredo exaggerated his role in the family business to Ola and Roth. In truth Michael always kept Fredo in the dark on everything important(by Fredo's own admission in the boathouse scene). Still Fredo made a deal with Ola and Roth to get Mike to ease up on the "negotiations" for the "big deal" in exchange for something on his own. Maybe Fredo was playing both sides.
