Ex-CIA Employee Facing Public Theft Charge. 

Last Friday, a former high-level CIA official was arrested after $40 million in gold bars were found at his home. According to a report in the Washington Post, Rush, who worked for the CIA directorate for Science & Technology, created a fake “special access program”. Special access programs are reserved for the most top-secret intelligence in the U.S. government; as such, even high-level intelligence personnel need special clearance to access an individual program.  According to a report in the New York Times, Rush was charged with filling out false time sheets based on a lie about being a Navy reservist.   When the police raided Rush’s house, they also seized 3 dozen high-end watches and a large amount of foreign currency.  It is unclear what will happen to Rush; however, I would think a long spell behind bars will be in order.
