Colin M. McDonald @AAGMcDonald - TODAY: Senior Governmental Official Pleads Guilty to Fraud Scheme
-David Rush was employed in a senior executive-level position with a federal agency and held a Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information security clearance.
-Rush reached that position, in part, by lying about his education and military experience. Rush used his position of extraordinary public trust to create fictitious government authorities to obtain U.S. government funds for his personal benefit.
-Once he received the funds, Rush acquired gold bars and directed approximately $145M in wire transfers that he ultimately used to purchase luxury real estate, watches, and at least one car. As a result of his scheme, Rush fraudulently obtained approximately $193M in U.S. government funds.
Rush has pleaded guilty and will be sentenced in January. Great work by @EDVAnews, @DOJNatSec, and many partners to ensure accountability for this fraudulent conduct.
