His bookkeeper was deaf, which was the reason he got the job in the first place.
It was assumed that a deaf bookkeeper would not hear anything that he might have to testify about in court.
When the Godfather went to confront the bookkeeper about his missing $10 million, he brought along his attorney, who knew sign language. The Godfather instructed the lawyer; "Ask him where the 10 million bucks he embezzled from me is."
The attorney, using sign language, asked the bookkeeper where the money was.
The bookkeeper signed back, "I don't know what you are talking about."
The attorney told the Godfather; "He says he doesn't know what you're talking about."
The Godfather pulled out a pistol, put it to the bookkeeper's temple, and said; "Ask him again!"
The attorney signed to the bookkeeper, "He'll kill you if you don't tell him!"
The bookkeeper signed back, "OK! You win! The money is in a brown briefcase, buried behind the shed in my cousin Enzo's backyard in Queens!"
The Godfather asked the attorney; "Well, what'd he say?"
The attorney replied, "He says, 'you don't have the balls to pull the trigger.'"
