Ex-CIA official arrested after $40M in gold bars allegedly found inside his home​

A former CIA official was arrested last week after FBI agents allegedly found $40 million worth of gold bars at his home while investigating whether he lied about his educational and military background, according to court records and sources familiar with the matter.

David Rush is currently being held in jail while both his defense attorneys and federal prosecutors "gather and evaluate additional information" to assist the court in determining whether he should remain detained, court filings say. They have jointly requested to postpone his detention hearing until June 5 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.

300 bars…
kilo price = $144,500
would be $43,350,000 or so

The guy had balls for sure.

I hesitate to turn in a lunch receipt for more than $30 on my expense report and I own the company.
