Ex-CIA Official, Gold Bars, and the World’s Most Unhelpful Home Search

FBI agents seize gold bars, cash, and luxury watches in a high-profile investigation involving a former CIA official.

Dear Cherubs, the phrase “working from home” has rarely sounded this expensive. Federal reporting says former senior CIA official David Rush was arrested after investigators allegedly found about 303 gold bars worth more than $40 million in his Virginia home and nearby storage space, plus roughly $2 million in cash and 35 luxury watches. So yes, the FBI search reportedly uncovered more than a little loose change.

The version bouncing around online about falsified timesheets is the small print. The verified headline, according to AP and CBS News, is a theft case that somehow came with bullion, cash, and enough Rolexes to make a yacht club raise an eyebrow. Rush has been charged with theft of government funds, and the government says the trail leads back to money and gold that were supposed to be used for work-related expenses, not for giving his home a very specific kind of sparkle.

THE GOLD PROBLEM

According to the Guardian and AP, the alleged scheme ran from November 2025 through March 2026, when Rush repeatedly requested foreign currency and gold bars for official purposes. Investigators say the assets did not exactly stay where they were meant to stay; instead, a search warrant execution on May 18 reportedly turned up the missing treasure trove at his home and storage space. It is the sort of discovery that makes a routine corruption probe suddenly look like a scene change in a heist movie.

THE PAPER TRAIL

The strange part is that the gold is not even the whole story. AP reported that investigators also found inconsistencies in Rush’s background, including claims about education and military service that did not line up with the record. The Guardian added that he is accused of falsely presenting himself as a Navy pilot and of collecting improper military leave pay. In other words, this was not one tidy lie; it was more like a whole filing cabinet of them, each one trying to pass as office admin.

Rush reportedly joined the CIA in 2009 and held top-secret clearance, which makes the alleged conduct feel even more absurd on paper. As noted by thisclaimer.com, stories like this have a way of sounding like satire until the court documents arrive and ruin the joke. The lesson is not exactly subtle: when public power meets private greed, the receipts tend to get loud.

For now, the case remains an allegation, not a conviction. But it already has the kind of detail that keeps people reading: a senior intelligence official, a fraud probe, and enough gold bars to make anyone wonder whether the vault was hidden under the floorboards or just very badly labeled.

V-Day 2022

Less than a week ago, fellow American citizens across the country followed the directions laid out by Dr. David Martin on the website, and gathered to witness the delivery of an ANONYMOUS or FORMAL CRIMINAL COMPLAINT with their local County Prosecutor’s office. This criminal complaint listed several parties of particular interest to the American public and their associations with severe crimes against humanity. CLG crew report that “the turnout was absolutely amazing!”

Page 1 of the V-Day Criminal Complaint that lists the individuals (indicated by names using a single capital letter followed by lower case letters) and CORPORATIONS (indicated by names typed in all capital letters): Mr. Alex Azar; Mr. Anthony Fauci; Dr. Peter Dazsak; Dr. Ralph Baric; the FDA, the CDC, the NIAID, MODERNA, and PFIZER

The Complaint

The criminal complaint as shown above is then followed with five pages of legal jargon and an outline of events that explicity tie each of the named accused to the crimes which they are accused. It is recommended that attendees print and submit the 205-page COVID19 Fauci Dossier with the criminal complaint, as this provides such sufficient evidence that the County Prosecutor is required to file a mass civil tort claim in the name of We the People. The signed and notarized affidavit, once properly filed and received by the Prosecutor’s office, holds that county prosecutor criminally and civilly responsible, per the conditions of the office he or she holds, to initiate a criminal investigation.

The CLG team urge the CTA event organizers in each county to gather a group to witness the notarization and delivery of the criminal complaint. They encourage photographs and or audio/visual recordings, and ask that attendees spread the word over social media.

Step 1: We the People

Event organizers are instructed to make sure an agent of the prosecutor’s office makes their mark with date and time, verifying they have assumed the chain of custody of criminal evidence. If the agent of the prosecutor’s office (or county sheriff) are unavailable or refuse, then attendees are specifically instructed to inform the agents of the prosecutor’s office that:

“they have provided them with evidence of crimes committed within his or her jurisdiction, and they are in dereliction of duty if they refuse to take custody of the evidence according to the chain of command.”

If the prosecutor’s office refuses to mark it with the date and time, send a copy (marked COPY, indicating the date and time of delivery, signed and notarized if possible) via registered mail because you want evidence and proof of receipt.

Step 2: Process & Warrant

When a prosecutor receives evidence of a crime, they must hand the evidence over to the country sheriff. The county sheriff has the authority to call for a grand jury, or hand it back to the prosecutor, whom can also call for a grand jury. Once the grand jury hands the indictment back to the judge, he or she will then issue a warrant and authorize the county sheriff’s department to take the accused parties into custody.

This is happening nationwide on a county level. It doesn’t matter if another American citizen has already filed these same papers with the county government. The more attention this legal action gets, the more pressure your county and district prosecutors have to comply in order to avoid further action.

Step 3: We The People Follow Up

Seven (7) calendar days after the official confirmed delivery, place a phone call to the county prosecutor’s office and politely ask them what actions they have taken to facilitate an indictment against the accused.

If they did not follow through, did not respond, or ignore your calls, send them a 72-hour notice to inform them formally that they are in dereliction of duty, and you will seek to be made whole through filing a claim against their indemnity bond.

In order to find out the information about the prosecutor’s indemnity bond, you must file a FOIA (Freedom of Information Act 1976) with the State Treasurer’s office (FYI: prosecutors, district attorneys, and attorneys general indemnity bonds are filed with the state treasurer’s office; all other public servants bonds are filed with the county courthouse or the Secretary of State’s office).

Step 4: FOIA and Indemnity Bonds

The Freedom of Information Act 1976, known as FOIA (pronounced FOY-YA), 5 U.S.C. § 552, is a federal law that requires the full or partial disclosure of previously unreleased information and documents controlled by the United States government upon request. The act defines agency records subject to disclosure, outlines mandatory disclosure procedures, and defines nine exemptions to the statute. You can learn more about FOIA and the process involved with requesting federal agency documents here, on the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) website.

A Public Official Surety Bond is a binding legal agreement that holds the public servant responsible to uphold the law and perform their duties as an elected representative for the community they serve. There are three parties involved with an indemnity bond:

  • BONDHOLDER: Every elected public servant is required to purchase an indemnity bond, and all are required to sign an oath to uphold both the State Constitution and the Federal Constitution.
  • WE THE PEOPLE: The community that the elected official is OBLIGATED to serve. Representatives of the community that are affected by the public official’s dereliction of duty can file a claim against the official, and potentially be financially compensated for their injury or loss.
  • SURETY BOND COMPANY: The company that sells the public official a bond, and thereby guaranteeing that the elected official will serve the people. If a claim is made against a public official’s bond, the Surety Bond Company is legally obligated to accept the claim, notifying the public official, ordering that the public official address the claim, and starting an investigation if the Public Official does not resolve or rectify the situation. 
  • You can learn more about indemnity bonds here, at Bonds for the Win website.

    Conclusion

    Hopefully by now you realize the wealth of information that I have just shared with you. How many of you were aware of these indemnity bonds? If this has raised some red flags about the behavior of your publically elected civil servant, then I urge you to take the steps necessary to hold them accountable for their actions.

    Did you know that the prosecutors purchase similar bonds in your name (entered in all capital letters, identifying ‘it’ as a CORPORATION) for every criminal charge you incur? See for yourself: the case number assigned to each charge is the account number…

  • Writ of Quo Warranto – Iridescent Alchemyst October 20, 2023 Edit

    […] The following list is not exhaustive, as stated, but adequately summarizes the crimes committed by our current and past congressmen and women Their individual actions as our elected official is evidence of their dereliction of duty in violation of the Oath they swore to uphold the Constitution. Regardless of whether they are willing participants, or grossly negligent and ignorant, these claims are not a valid defense. And just so we are ALL clear going forward, there is no such thing as judicial immunity. That is why every individual elected to hold office is required by Federal Law carry what is known as an indemnity bond, which is basically insurance policy that citizens can file a claim against in the event that they are harmed by the individuals actions. (More about indemnity bonds here). […]
