Kosmo Gallion posted:Like, ain't you supposed to be smart Stringer? Having Omar's boyfriend killed. Trying to play Brother … Mousad? Starting the co-op that he quickly loses power over. Like you mentioned, playing at being a developer and losing a ton of money. OK'ing a hit on Omar on a Sunday. Killing D'Angelo. He’s just a bad idea factory.

He did know that. It was never determined whether or not he knew we're gonna look like some punk rear end bitches out there.

Good old Spider. Also the same sage that explained sideways hats to Herc.

Frank knew what was up. He also handled it poorly in retrospect. But he at least tried to help other people. Ziggy deserves very little sympathy.

He kept saying things about “your link to New York” and such, so I always assumed that he had some serious connections. Meaning those connections were scarier than Mouzon.

I think season 4 is very good, but for whatever reason I have no desire to rewatch it. I get an episode or two in, and lose interest.

He would have doubled his money if he held them until 2006-2007 and then sold. He just flat out failed, like he did with everything else. WithoutTheFezOn fucked around with this message at 18:28 on Feb 26, 2024 |

Omar stole a lot of drugs. Lots. Being in his kind of work, the logistics of getting it all sold and turned into cash would be difficult, to say the least. Taking 20% of its price to not have the hassle, and get rid of it all at once, is a reasonable solution.

Konstantin posted:I don't know, Stringer's main mistakes were angering Brother Muzone and getting scammed by Clay Davis. Both of them were due to him having too big an ego, a slightly more humble Stringer wouldn't have made either mistake. His main idea of sacrificing street rep for money was working. Rep for money worked until it didn’t. He got kicked out as the head of the co-op. FlamingLiberal posted:My favorite thing is Stringer constantly trying to explain macroeconomics 101 stuff to his dealers and them just extremely confused
