This story is insane.
A senior CIA official with Top Secret clearance invented a fake Special Access Program and used it to defraud the U.S. government of $194 MILLION.
The FBI found 298 gold bars worth roughly $46 million, $2.1 million in cash, and dozens of luxury watches at his Virginia home.
Another $145 million was funneled through a front company to buy four Florida mansions.
No one could question it because they weren't cleared to.
Yesterday he pleaded guilty to ONE count of wire fraud.
If one man can fake a black program for $194M, how many real ones have never been audited?

Hannah was described as normal, happy and precocious in her first 18 months.
Then, in July 2000, she was vaccinated against nine diseases in one doctor's visit: measles, mumps, rubella, polio, varicella, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, and Haemophilus influenzae.
Afterward, her health declined rapidly. She developed high fevers, stopped eating, didn't respond when spoken to, began showing signs of autism, and began having screaming fits.
In 2002, Hannah's parents filed an autism claim in federal vaccine court. Five years later, the government admitted vaccines caused her autism, settled quietly before it could become a landmark case, and had it sealed.
CDC officials continued to call the vaccine-autism link "debunked" and a "quack" theory.
