#1 Once upon a time gold mines and gold shipments were the prime target of robbers, probably because the mines tend to be in the middle of nowhere. I would not be surprised to see more robberies like this, especially if they get away with it.
Also possible it's an insurance fraud 'robbery' - gold mining companies have historically been over-represented in fraudulent activities.

#3 It's Mexico. Same as Chicago. Just cleaning up the books after the ~~corruption~~ fact. In business it's called a write-off.
