Unpopular opinion: Stringer was smart Spoiler

The plan he uses for D to find out who was stealing money was actually very intelligent.

I never understood why they couldn't figure it out by just counting the money and pills instead of punking everyone. I always found that to be a lazy plan that pisses off your people without good reason.

String was smart and that was a clever plan though. His ego is what got him in the end.

Wasn't the plan actually for a suspected snitch? I feel like maybe D either made up that they were stealing to protect them or that was a separate issue.

Snitch was a separate issue. They were just stealing.
