NYT: "A senior C.I.A. official was arrested last week after investigators found hundreds of gold bars worth over $40 million stashed in his Virginia residence, a small fortune that he apparently brought home from work, according to court papers.

The official, David Rush, is being held in jail while he awaits a detention hearing in the coming days on charges of stealing public money by filling out fraudulent time sheets. The charging documents filed in Alexandria, Va., still leave a lot unanswered about his recent conduct."

He had to do a bit more than fill out fraudulent timesheets to get those gold bars.

Likely a ‘back door’, and you can bet that he’s not alone in using it.

Time sheets?

What on earth do time sheets, fraudulent or otherwise, have to do with $40,000,000 in gold bars?

You would think at $20 million you might call it quits and retire.

These people are idiots.

Interesting times when news reporters classify $40M in Gold Bars sitting in a house as "a SMALL fortune."

Sitting here tabulating finances to find out how to squeeze out the next mortgage payment, reading about how yet another government employee has defrauded me.

What a hell of a timeline in which to exist.

To say the guillotine should be dusted off and re-implemented isn't hyperbolic.

The crazy thing is hiding them in your home. He could have served his time and then Shawshank into retirement.

Makes any reasonable person wonder how many others and how much have they already stolen from our nation.

Same idea with all the fraud! fricking bullshite! Seems like once upon a time, back in the founding of our nation, "we the people " would be demanding heads on a damn stick for this shite.

I haven't busted arse all my working days paying taxes for shite dicks like this, frickin inbred Somalis in Minnesota, Armenians in California, and whatever other pos American hating folks stealing my tax dollars....
