Swopa, what you’re saying is equivalent to “Oh, gee, he robbed the bank but we’re pretty sure we got most of the money back.”

Re: the copies, remember that not only are the copies as classified as the originals, but any handwritten notes are classified at least as highly as the highest classification of the originals, and very probably higher than any single original. (I explained how this works in a previous thread) so even just stashing his notes was a federal crime.
