Sex, Booze And Bribes Corruption Probe Targets 60 U.S. Navy Admirals: Report
A contractor named “Fat Leonard” provided wild times for classified information, the government says.
By Mary Papenfuss
A massive investigation of U.S. Navy corruption in Asia that featured wild parties, bribes and prostitutes has expanded to include more than than 60 admirals and hundreds of other Navy officers, The Washington Post reports.
The probe centers on Malaysian contractor Leonard “Fat Leonard” Glenn Francis, who provided money and wild times in exchange for classified information to win lucrative contracts with the 7th Fleet for his Singapore-based company and defraud the U.S. government, according to the newspaper.
The Justice Department has already filed charges against 28 people, including two admirals, since Francis was arrested in a sting operation four years ago. But that could just be the beginning. Eighteen people have pleaded guilty to charges that include violations of military law and federal ethics rules.
The Navy told the Post that investigators have been examining the conduct of 440 personnel, current and retired, including at least 60 admirals.
Indictments in March against nine officers allege that Francis plied the men with Cuban cigars, $25,000 watches, and $50,000 worth of alcohol for a multi-day party, and a “rotating carousel of prostitutes” in exchange for information, Foreign Policy reported. Francis once rented the MacArthur Suite at the Manila Hotel, where Gen. Douglas MacArthur memorabilia was used for sex acts with prostitutes, according to the indictment.
Whistleblowing can be used as a potent creative tool to help your bureaucracy evolve towards a more enlightened organization.

You got to know Fatty was plying drugs to the Navy officers. None of them had any scruples. Why didn't the Navy pick up drugs in testing these officers blood or hair?
