Federal prosecutors have reached a preliminary plea agreement with a former Central Intelligence Agency officer accused of misappropriating hundreds of gold bars valued at more than $40 million and concealing them in his residence, according to court documents.
David Rush and officials from the Department of Justice stated on Friday that they have a “plea agreement in principle.” The filing also requested that a judge extend the current deadline of September 17 by three weeks, pushing it to October 8, to provide additional time to finalize the resolution before an indictment is filed.
Does this mean he confesses to using gold bars as collateral? The details on where they were hide are crucial.
Wait, he literally buried millions in his backyard? That’s the laziest theft I’ve ever heard of.
