GoKawiilEx-CIA officer David Rush pleads guilty to $190M fraud via fake secret program
David J. Rush, a former CIA officer, pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud for fabricating a fake top-secret 'special access program' to siphon government funds. Investigators recovered over $46 million in gold bars, luxury cars, watches and more than $2 million in cash from his home. Prosecutors say Rush lied about his education and military background to gain his CIA position and later exploited his authority over intelligence spending to run the scheme for more than a year.
