It was an absurd amount, but I think FFC and Puzo put it in to underscore Geary's greed--and stupidity. He could have hidden $250k, but 5% of the gross of all four hotels every month would have caught the attention of the IRS immediately.

E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
