16. GG is denying it and I think I know why.

According to this link only 75 files were fully decrypted so far. But they have proof that over 58,000 files are there.

I think that the files were originally on the laptop, copied to the flash drives, then deleted from the laptop.

Basically they did an undelete on Miranda's laptop and found the deleted files! The password was probably to a file within a file, which was intended to be used on the flash drives after they were opened!

The password on the paper was to the encrypted file on the laptop which was deleted after being copied to encrypted flash drives.

GG is doubling down because he doesn't know about the ability to undelete files (I think his knowledge of computers is highly inadequate for these tasks). He doesn't deny that there was a password with Miranda.
