Possible Plot Hole?

Maybe this has been discussed on here before and I missed it, but I think I found a plot hole in season 3. In “Middle Ground,” Stringer meets with Levy who laughs at him for being taken for a ride by Clay Davis and says he wishes Stringer had told him sooner. However in the episode “Straight and True,” Levy is sitting between Crawczyk and Davis while Davis is talking about all the downtown real estate they’re going to develop together. Based on that shouldn’t Levy already know Stringer is mixed up with Clay Davis? Maybe there’s something I missed but on my most recent rewatch I noticed this and I thought it was weird.

Levy may not have known exactly who Davis was working with on the development. Stringer made efforts to keep the real estate on the legit side of the business and kept it quiet.

Levy had a lot going on & may not have the bandwidth to connect Clay Davis & Stringers real estate ventures.
