A former senior CIA official with top secret-level clearance is accused of stealing hundreds of gold bars worth more than $40 million from the federal government.

We all know how these things go, typical stuff. You start with 2, keep one and give one away, but then somewhere along the line you find yourself submitting a requisition request for half of Fort Knox. We’ve all been there

Man, I’d sure love to have a big gold bar. Not like in the greedy way. Just as a collector’s item.
You know you can just buy them, right?
It would really complete my mineral shelf. I might need a better shelf though
