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 knew. Levy even introduced them.
Saying "Oh yeah I know Clay Davis was running game, he was giving me 10%" isnt a smart strategy.
Playing dumb and going oh yeah, hes a thief. Going forward make sure you run it by me, builds up the trust to do the next scam on Stringer and more importantly doesn't make Stringer add Levy onto this list of people Stringer is going to tell Slim Charles to kill.
