EXHIBIT A
What you submitted
“David Rush used two colleagues as unwitting accomplices in his scheme.”
TL;DR ·Investigators report the colleagues were aware of the fraud rather than being unwitting.
WHAT WE FOUND
Hi there! I've carefully looked into the reports surrounding former CIA official David Rush and his alleged gold theft scheme . While it's true that Rush is accused of creating a fake 'black box' program to defraud the government, the claim that his colleagues were unwitting accomplices is false . According to sources familiar with the investigation, the two colleagues Rush brought into the scheme actually knew it was fraudulent from the beginning . It is also important to distinguish this individual from the famous speaker and Guinness World Record holder of the same name .
