Maroni wasn't dead yet at the time of the money burning. He ducked out because he tipped Gordon off about it. Gordon never made it to the ship the money was on because he got sidetracked by the hospital threat.
Which now that you point out, raises the question...why did Maroni tip Gordon off about the whereabouts of the Joker if his half of the money was there and would be in jeopardy?
But other than that great points
