Money laundering investigators are closing in on the perp, and the perp found out.
Exchanging the notes leaves a record of the person being connected to the money which is very bad evidence. The second takes the risk the box will be opened by an investigator.
Think legal jeopardy. If person X, maybe part of a plea deal or whatever said, "yeah I gave 2 million in euro notes to Boris who was going to keep them in his box in UBS", and then, a few days later, Boris is on tape exchanging 2 million in euro notes and depositing it.... or if his box is opened thanks to a search warrant and they find the money----that's conclusive evidence linking Boris as a beneficiary. Now, if some random notes are randomly found in a sewer, the connection to Boris though suspicious is hardly as black-and-white conclusive to a jury or judge as being caught with the money personally.
This is somebody with more fear of prison (or Putin diplomatic "retirement") than greed for the money.
>>you basically seem to imply that consciousness is an "emergent property" of complexity >Nope. I outright state it is a result of a physical mechanism we do not understand as yet.
What's the evidence for this? There's lots of evidence all sorts of other brain and mind observed properties are a consequence of known physical properties and material behaviors.
What counts as 'physical mechanism'? Not well appreciated dynamics in the various types of synapses & neurons? Unlike artificial neural networks, real biological ones have much more complex neurons and many heterogeneous varieties, though it isn't known if the variety and aspects of complexity is essential or incidental to collective intelligent behavior or if such behavior requires these properties. That's what "neuroscience" is about.
New 'physical mechanism' as in quantum woo? very very very unlikely.
It is unwise to apply historical precedent when the difference may be qualitatively profoundly different.
Robots with AI are not mere machinery, they are much more like slaves. And there were serious problems economically for non-slaves because of competition from slave labor. This was a big deal in the Roman empire.
As usual, the elites owned almost all the slaves---and one reason Gaius Julius Caesar was assassinated by the oligarchy was because he favored restrictions on slavery in order to benefit the wages of free Romans.
Now robot AI slaves are unlikely to spontaneously revolt, and a major category of these will of course be armed guards, Unsullied Machines, who will prevent democracy from imposing restrictions on the elite's slavery.

One aspect: Accepting material help from foreigners in a political campaign. The foreigner was an agent of a semi-hostile foreign government, and promised the help through criminally obtained materials. In return the foreign power wanted influence on US policy ("adoptions" is code for Magnitsky Act which are actually powerful economic sanctions targeted at oligarchs and the means of corrupt control in Russia). (If the person were domestic, it would be already bribery).
We don't know what is in the intelligence intercepts, but it appears to be enough to convince judges to agree to search warrants various times.
As it turns out, that is illegal in California. It's only that landowners need to keep an access path to the public beach. It's permissible for the legislature to distinguish suffocating people their home in dome and requiring an open access road.
Women who are particularly good at technical and mathematical subjects often happen to be very good at many things. There are, relatively, more men who are good at technical subjects and not outstanding on others.

Watergate reporters exposed malfeasance by the President because they thought the country should know, or more clearly, they accepted information from government insiders who were mortified by the illegal and immoral actions the administration wanted them to pursue.
2016: Russia illegally hacked DNC and offered information to Trump campaign because they wanted to get Trump elected because they thought Trump would serve their interests and reduce the economic sanctions that they justly deserved from their thuggery.

Or, perhaps, unmasking US citizens is considered by intelligence agents to be a serious act requiring the approval and orders by top executives, and the matter at hand far from routine. Yes, the underlings would filter the random garbage about what ahmad's cousin in Kandahar really thinks about his mother in law into issues of potential national importance. A foreign adversary influencing a national election is unquestionably a "boss needs to know".
It's accepting covert help from a foreign adversary who wants to influence the outcome of an election and future policy by giving one candidate information obtained by illegal espionage by their national intelligence service.
And the beneficiary likely having personal financial entanglements with that same country to open them to pressure and a conflict between the needs of one own country and one's bank accounts.
“You’ve heard about the controversies within the bill, the process about the bill, one or the other. But I don’t know if you have heard that it is legislation for the future, not just about health care for America, but about a healthier America, where preventive care is not something that you have to pay a deductible for or out of pocket. Prevention, prevention, prevention — it’s about diet, not diabetes. It’s going to be very, very exciting. But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy.”
Notice, "you can find out what is in it", not "we can find out what is in it".
The "you" means "Citizens of the US." The "fog of the controversy" was the BS and lies invented by Republicans ("Death Panels").
| For the same reason, there are unlikely to be any EV long haul trucks anytime soon.
Trucking companies care about moving the cargo long distances. They don't really care if the truck goes long distances. A roboticized truck could pick up a cargo trailer and deliver to the next depot, where a newly charged truck (or battery pack) picks up the cargo and continues with it.
Natural gas powered hybrid trucks (for regenerative efficiency) are probably a better deal.
It will be easy to buy a combustion engine car, but hard to buy one without an added battery or other energy storage.
They are thinking of banning diesel & petrol only vehicles, not hybrids and plug in hybrids. The transition will be unnoticeable by then. They won't ban all combustion engines.
USSR stole the fission bomb. They figured out the hydrogen bomb (which is far more complex) on their own, and they did quite a bit on their own with rocket & space engineering.

Don't you fucking dare oppose Putin ever. We know everything.
Most likely, the details are all falsified by the FSB (so NSA/GCHQ/BND doesn't get in), but the scope is authentic.

With such superpowers at her disposal, including a majority of votes, why couldn't Clinton get herself elected?

So much so to win the popular vote by a significant margin.
