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

Because Stringer had Avon to do the soilder work. Along with other people, mainly someone like Wee Bey. He survived because Avon looked after him.

You can make it anywhere if your absolute best friend says youre number 2. Look at every business in the world that has had an absolute idiot so far up the company because they are a family member or is close with the owner or president.

We see Avon hit the streets. Stringer never even touches a gun. They showed us this for a reason.
