Ex-CIA Officer Allegedly Hoarded $40 Million in Gold at Home

A former CIA senior officer with top-secret clearance is charged with criminal theft of public money after authorities say he secretly stored about 300 gold bars worth over $40 million at his home and lied about his background for years. The FBI seized the gold, cash, and watches during a raid, and the case raises questions about the effectiveness of the government's continuous vetting and background-check programs for intelligence personnel.
