@mattblaze LOL, the CIA just has gold bars lying around in the office? Gee, I just got promotional pens at work.
you have your idea of office supplies; the CIA has theirs...
i'm sure they make great paperweights, doorstops, propping up table legs, suborning foreign assets. you know. just your normal day at the office.

@ai6yr They need to put up a strongly worded sign. GOLD BARS ARE FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY.
@ai6yr PLEASE BE CONSIDERATE OF YOUR CO-WORKERS AND TAKE ONLY AS MANY GOLD BARS AS YOU NEED.

@CStamp I mean, I understand the temptation. You’re running late and won’t have time to stop and pick up gold bars on the way home, so you grab a couple from the stack next to the photocopier paper. But 300 bars? Excessive by any standard.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/may/29/cia-official-gold-theft-trialI'm sure it was just a misunderstanding.
He probably asked about taking them,
but told he should be barred. -
@mattblaze @armb @ai6yr This would have been a great strategy for thwarting the MTA token-suckers back in the 1990s.

@mattblaze @CStamp "Gold bars?! No, no, no, I said protein bars! We need protein bars. The ones we keep in the staff kitchen. Where did you even get these?"

@chronovore @mattblaze @CStamp I believe I may have discovered the source of the confusion:

@chronovore @CStamp The CIA supply catalog is probably much more interesting than at most offices. “Who ordered the rocket launcher? And please return my stapler.”

I'll bet he left the light on in the bathroom, too.
And the toilet seat up, of course

Your Honour,
The gold that was found under my bed wasn't stolen. For the good of the CIA, it was being hidden, from being stolen by Trump, his family and friends. Every one knows his gold fetish.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell you just know he has a fake handicap parking pass, too.

@mattblaze @CStamp
Is it really stealing if you submitted a reimbursement request? -

@mattblaze @ai6yr
YOUR MOTHER DOES NOT WORK HERE. PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE UNWASHED GOLD BARS IN THE SINK. -

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/may/29/cia-official-gold-theft-trialsigh, this is potentially so bad
indictments can be supersededthe 1st indictment is the easiest to charge, so they can hold him with bail
right ?

@failedLyndonLaRouchite almost certainly. One open question is whether the resume padding was discovered while investigating the gold, or vise versa.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/may/29/cia-official-gold-theft-trial@mattblaze There is absolutely no way to read the phrase "...discovered missing from an office he used at a government storage space" and NOT picture some guy rolling by with the Ark of the Covenant in a box on a pallet jack.
