🇺🇸 A CIA officer got caught with $40 million in gold bars at home.
David Rush had a Top-Secret clearance, a senior management position at the CIA, and apparently a very interesting storage situation. Federal agents raided his house last week and walked out with 300 gold bars worth over $40 million, $2 million in cash, and 35 luxury watches, mostly Rolexes.
His explanation for the gold? "Work-related expenses."
It gets wilder. The man spent nearly 20 years lying about his entire background, fake degrees, a Navy pilot career that never happened, none of it was real. He applied to the CIA three times before finally getting in, adding more fake credentials each time until something stuck.
The CIA caught him through an internal investigation and handed it to the FBI.
The real question nobody wants to answer is how someone with a completely fabricated resume held Top-Secret clearance for two decades without anyone noticing.
