So am I to understand that Mike gave the money to Connie to put in her checking account, and once the ship was underway, he proceeded to close down the account?
It's impossible to say, Johnny. Being that the scene was never filmed (or filmed and discarded), it really doesn't count. That's the thing about these early movie drafts that have become available online (and not just "The Godfather" films). They were all ultimately edited, so there's little sense in debating "what might have been."
