Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Monday, August 03, 2026

Ex-FBI SA Patrick Steven Yaroch was arrested and charged with stealing approximately $1 million belonging to foreign adversaries, using sensitive intelligence he accessed through bureau systems. Stationed in Ashburn, VA, this former FBI counterintelligence agent allegedly executed 10 to 12 transactions beginning in late 2024 to move digital assets from foreign adversarial wallets into his own accounts. His scheme unraveled when he confessed to a colleague during a "crisis of conscience" on 28 July 2026.

Imagine throwing away a prestigious career and robust pension?
