Ex-CIA Officer Admits to Far Larger $145 Million Scam

“A former CIA officer who the authorities say stashed hundreds of gold bars in his home admitted in court on Tuesday to a far larger web of deception, including a $145 million scam involving luxury real estate and providing sensitive intelligence to a foreign government official,” the New York Times reports.

“The shocking details of the case were revealed in federal court in Alexandria, Va. where David J. Rush pleaded guilty to a single count of wire fraud, which could earn him up to 20 years behind bars.”
