Was Paul Davis playing Franklin?
This is something that's always bothered me: was Paul Davis playing Franklin?
Davis knew Franklin was a drug dealer. Davis DIDN'T know that Franklin was a dynastically wealthy one. I always wondered if Spring Street was just a money pit that was meant to drain Franklin until Davis could buy Franklin out for pennies on the dollar.
In the finale Franklin finds out about Veronique taking the last of the money when he goes to speak to his banker claiming that the foundation needs to be torn up and repoured. Which is a BIG outlay of expenses and not something that happens typically.
I didn't know for sure but I always wondered if Paul Davis believed Franklin was a mark that he could drain of money (a more legitimate version of what Clay Davis does to Stringer Bell on the Wire). Am I crazy or did anyone else think of this?
