$40m+ in an expense account based in gold bars is absolutely crazy. CIA agents must have access to untold resources if this is seen as a somewhat regular 4 month spend. Seems it is, given that they seemingly weren't concerned about the $40+ million being taken out, but where it was being held.

The "resources" are off the books, it must be just the tip of the iceberg.

$40M is a trivial amount of money to everyone involved in this matter. It’s only a few hundred 1kg bars.

You're thinking in pre-covid peasant dollars. $40m isn't that much anymore, and frankly never was to these people.
