Not if he didn't think it would interfere with the talks. Harry wasn't going to take part in them, and neither was Murphy, however it would give him leverage down the road. I am not saying he was behind it, but it isn't impossible either..
Bad Alias:
I agree it's not impossible. I'm saying Marcone is too smart to do it during the talks because he's smart enough to know you don't add factors to a delicate situation. It's stupid. He can't know it won't interfere with the talks. It would be a departure from his established character.

Or is it? Harry and Murphy agree that Rudy is in Marcone's pay. Depending on how the talks went, Marcone may have figured that having a little information to blackmail with in his back pocket wouldn't hurt if he felt he didn't get all he wanted from the talks.
ElJefe81:
I think the chances of Marcone being behind this are non-existent. It's simply not his style. Gathering this type of intelligence for later leverage would be his style, but tipping off Harry and Murphy ahead of time by letting them know he's on to them? Sloppy. Further, he's demonstrated countless times that he would not permit this type of sloppiness from his underlings.
Conspiracy Theorist:
And at the same time keep Rudy around in case you need a handy fall guy(oh that would make a good title for the wrestling book “Fall Guys”, very noir and pun laden) on the off chance you need to show an officer on the take etc without exposing you own people. Rudy has too big a house, too nice a car, too expensive a suit for his salary, those on the take from Marcone are probably instructed on how to hide their largesse. Marcone’s guys own a reasonable house in a so so neighbourhood, drive a 2 year old car and but a good but off the peg suit, and have a very big bank account squirrelled away for their retirement.
