The FBI has arrested a former CIA member who had a treasure at home: $40 million in gold bars

The FBI arrested former CIA employee David J. Rush after a search of his Virginia home uncovered more than 300 gold bars, about $2 million in cash, and dozens of luxury watches.

Investigators allege Rush defrauded the government through false statements tied to military leave payments and résumé claims, including unverified education and Navy Reserve status.

The case raises fresh questions about how a former senior CIA official could amass unexplained wealth while allegedly falsifying credentials and military service details.
