49岁的前美国中情局高管大卫·拉什已认罪，承认对美国政府实施2亿美元的诈骗计划1。根据指控，拉什在科技局担任高级主管期间，利用虚构的机密项目以工作费用名义骗取大量现金和黄金1。他在2025年11月至2026年3月期间多次请求拨款外币和数千万美元的黄金，并在2026年1月发起了一笔4500万美元的转账1。
拉什利用骗取的资金购买佛罗里达豪宅，包括支付4万美元购买厨房电器等高端装修费用，随后将该房产转售以获利1。除诈骗罪外，他还被指控向无权获取信息的外国政府官员泄露绝密数据，涉及"隐蔽人力来源"等机密信息1。调查还发现拉什曾虚报军事和学历背景，谎称为海军飞行员1。
执法部门查获的资产包括298根金条、200万美元现金、35块奢侈手表、两辆宝马车，以及被冻结的银行账户中的3900万美元，但FBI调查显示仍有部分资金下落不明1。根据认罪协议，拉什需要进行赔偿并没收这些资产1。他因电汇欺诈认罪，最高可被判处20年监禁1。量刑听证会定于2026年1月28日举行1。
A former senior CIA official has pleaded guilty to defrauding the US government of $200 million through an elaborate scheme involving false contracts and real estate manipulation.1 David Rash, 49, who held a high-level position at the agency's technology division, orchestrated the fraud by fabricating classified projects and requesting substantial sums in cash and gold under the guise of work expenses.1 Between November 2025 and March 2026, Rash made multiple requests for large quantities of foreign currency and tens of millions of dollars in gold, including a single transfer request of $45 million in January 2026.1
The defendant leveraged his illicit proceeds to purchase luxury properties in Florida, which he subsequently renovated and resold for profit, with renovation costs including $40,000 spent on kitchen appliances alone.1 Federal authorities recovered 298 gold bars, $2 million in cash, 35 luxury watches, two BMW vehicles, and froze $39 million in bank accounts, though FBI investigators indicate that some funds remain unaccounted for.1 In addition to the financial crimes, Rash disclosed classified information to foreign government officials who lacked authorization to receive it, including details regarding covert human sources.1
As part of his guilty plea to wire fraud—carrying a maximum sentence of 20 years imprisonment—Rash has agreed to forfeit his seized assets and make restitution.1 A sentencing hearing is scheduled for January 28, 2026.1 Court records also reveal that Rash had previously falsified his military and educational credentials, claiming to have served as a naval aviator.1
