A former US intelligence officer has pleaded guilty to wire fraud after authorities found $40 million in gold bars in his possession. The BBC reported the case, which has drawn wide attention because of the officer's former spy status and the extraordinary sum involved. Details about how the gold was obtained remain limited while the case proceeds through the US courts.
Why now: The guilty plea of a former spy found holding $40 million in gold is a striking espionage-adjacent scandal driving fresh interest in the CIA.
