A CIA officer, David Rush, has admitted to inventing a fake top secret government program to steal more than $190 million from the U.S. government, including gold bars. Rush, who worked on highly sensitive intelligence programs, reached a plea deal with U.S. prosecutors after being caught siphoning money and gold. The case has drawn attention for its extraordinary scale and the breach of trust inside the intelligence agency.
