Ex-CIA Officer David Rush Hid $40 Million In Gold, Wants A Deal
Prosecutors charge him with salary theft: 744 hours of fake military leave and phony Clemson and Rensselaer degrees padded his CIA pay.
- The FBI affidavit says Rush got the gold bars from the government as 'work expenses.'
- Agents also found $2 million in cash and 35 luxury watches in his house.
- A judge pushed the indictment deadline to October 8 to let a plea deal close.
Why it matters: An intelligence agency that pays gold bars for 'expenses' has already stopped counting its own money.
