A former CIA officer has been accused of misappropriating more than $40 million worth of gold bars by allegedly creating a fraudulent classified programme and using it to obtain government-owned assets for personal use, according to a report by The New York Times.
David Rush, who previously held top-level security clearance, is accused of establishing a bogus special access programme and using it to request large quantities of gold bars and foreign currency under the pretext of official government expenses.
