Ex-CIA officer in $40M gold case gets plea deal
Former CIA officer David Rush, who worked for the agency for 17 years, has reached a tentative plea agreement with federal prosecutors in a $40 million gold theft case, according to court filings. The allegations involve the theft of 303 gold bars and over $2 million in foreign currency, as well as luxury watches and fraudulent timecards.
Rush allegedly created a fake classified project to justify siphoning CIA funds and resources. He is also accused of falsifying parts of his military and education background. Prosecutors and Rush's attorneys have requested additional time to finalize the agreement, with a deadline extended to October 8.
