how can nucky be manipulatin her when ITS HER SITUATION? she went into to business with AR, not nucky, he didnt even know about it. this is her mess, and shes running to nucky to clean it up. she thought she was smart enough to roll with the big dogs, and now she'll have to get her hands dirty.
Simple. He told her she's going to deal with it and make the deal. She's the one that got drunk and motivated by Nucky. It's her problem and she's dealing with it. Telling her how impressive it was that she managed a deal with AR to not rely on him.
It doesn't need to be his situation or know about it beforehand. She came to him, told him everything. Nucky basically spun her around in a circle until she got dizzy and sent her on her way. Nucky at no point showed any concern with this cuz he's smarter than her. Once he heard it was AR's wife he knew he had nothing to worry about. This just a struggling angry widow. If Margaret didn't ask after throwing the vagina at Nucky and denied he probably wouldn't have told her anything or done anything about it and just let her deal with it next time AR's wife came to see her.
What big dogs? You talking like she was bootlegging rum behind Masseria's back
All she did was take advantage of her job so that somebody could give her free room and board. Then the wife of dude she did the deal with comes crying all angry trying to get money out of a situation where she thinks she has the upper hand. This is not a big deal. It'd be much easier to kill this broad and be done with it but Nucky basically told Margaret that she's going to take a pittance and be quiet and she's gonna be the messenger. This is not some huge world shattering scandal. She aint kill nobody. Barely got her hands dirty. This is white collar crime
