Start
Vito:Michael... My Mikey, do as I tell you. Give this money to Tom, then make him get on the boat and leave.
Michael:But pop, the bastard betrayed you! And you wanna give him money? Why not just whack him and be done with it?
Vito:My boy, you're too young to understand. Think about it, if I give a million bucks to someone who betrayed me, everyone who stays loyal to me knows they'll get hundreds of millions.
Michael:I still don't get what you mean, pop.
Vito:It's okay, my boy. You will, when you're sitting where I am.

Did Vito let Tom go because he knew that Tom was actually an undercover cop?
Black Panther.Bob
If so, he really made sure the commissioner owed him big.

With that level of cunning, it's no wonder he was able to build such a huge criminal empire from nothing.
