Think of yourself as a mob boss and the mon is your mob accountant. While you may have all of the account numbers where you have stashed your ill gotten gains only your accountant knows which bank those account numbers belong to. If you or somebody else whacks your sole accountant then your money is gone. Oh, and your accountants may lie to you so best to have an odd number and let the majority rule.
