FBI Finds $40M In Gold, Rolexes. Cash At Ex-CIA Official's Home - SPDR Gold Shares (ARCA:GLD)

FBI agents arrested a former senior CIA official, David Rush, after a Virginia raid uncovered a substantial cache of hard assets. Investigators found approximately 303 gold bars, each around one kilogram, valued at more than $40 million, plus about $2 million in cash and nearly three dozen luxury watches, including Rolexes. Court papers indicate Rush secured sizable foreign currency and tens of millions in gold bars for work-related expenses, with internal reviews failing to locate the items at official facilities. The case follows a CIA referral from Director John Ratcliffe. Gold markets remain volatile as Goldman Sachs recently lifted its 2026 forecast to $5,400/oz.
