One of the biggest modern critiques about the American government involves the relative lack of oversight when it comes to the flow of money.
From the fraud scandals that rocked Minnesota recently, to the evergreen complaint that members of Congress shouldn’t be allowed to trade stocks, the concerns about financial oversight are not going away anytime soon.
And those concerns are only going to grow louder after the latest debacle involving the Central Intelligence Agency.
TheNew York Postreported that a “wannabe spy” had apparently convinced the CIA to just hand over — almost quite literally — $40 million in gold bars.
Former CIA official David Rush allegedly pulled of this scheme by merely claiming that these gold bars were for “work-related expenses.”
According tocourt documents, Rush’s odd request worked.
During the period between November 2025 and March 2026, Rush apparently made multiple requests to obtain copious amounts of foreign currency and gold bars.
However, upon receiving these funds, court documents state that Rush only moved a portion of it into storage — meaning the rest was unaccounted for.
When the CIA began to investigate, according toCBS News, unable to confirm what had happened to the gold bars or how they had been spent.
The outlet added: “When FBI agents searched his home on May 18, they found approximately 303 gold bars, in a value estimated to exceed $40 million, the complaint says. They also recovered $2 million in U.S. currency and 35 luxury watches.”
