Secondely, since Michael took over the family buisness and moved out to Nevada, he has moved in on plenty of casinos owned by Roth, so thats why Roth felt threatened and wanted Mike dead, cause he was muscling in on his buisness...
I think those two reasons should be reversed in order of importance. The primary reason for Roth wanting Mike dead was the muscling in on the casinos. The fact that he knew Michael ordered the hit on pal Moe Green would be of secondary importance...Roth himself did concede that this was the business they were in and such a fate could fall upon any one of them.
