Former CIA Official Arrested After $40 Million in Gold Found at Virginia Home

A former senior CIA official, David Rush, was arrested after FBI agents found about 303 gold bars (roughly 1 kg each) worth more than $40 million, plus around $2 million in cash and 35 luxury watches, at his Virginia home. Court documents say Rush sought foreign currency and tens of millions of dollars in gold bars for “work-related expenses” between late 2025 and March 2026 and later received them; the CIA couldn’t locate the gold or currency, triggering an FBI investigation. Rush, who reportedly had top secret clearance, is charged with criminal theft of public money and is detained pending his hearing.”,
