Billion$ floating around the world – why not take a taste?
❝ A federal judge in San Diego has sentenced a U.S. Navy captain caught in a $30 million bribery scandal to 46 months in prison, bringing to a close the case against the highest-ranking officer in the fraud scheme.
Captain Daniel Dusek, 49, pleaded guilty last year to a charge of conspiracy to commit bribery after admitting he accepted services from prostitutes, luxury hotel stays, alcohol and other gifts in exchange for giving classified information to the Singapore-based company Glenn Defense Marine Asia.
The firm headed by Malaysian businessman Leonard Glenn Francis, who has been dubbed “Fat Leonard,” held over $200 million in contracts to clean, stock and maintain U.S. Pacific Fleet ships.
❝ Francis has admitted to obtaining classified ship scheduling in exchange for bribes, which allowed him to make more money on his contracts by knowing when Navy ships would be available for servicing.
U.S. District Judge Janis Sammartino in sentencing Dusek to 46 months in prison said his actions could have jeopardized national security…
❝ Francis and Glenn Defense Marine Asia pleaded guilty in January 2015 to bribery and fraud charges. The company overcharged the Navy more than $25 million, according to his plea agreement.
So far, 10 people, including seven naval officers have been charged in the scheme, including a Naval Criminal Investigative Services agent and two commanders. All but one have entered a guilty plea.
Three admirals, who are now retired, were also censured for their improper relationships with Francis and his company.
President Eisenhower knew what he was talking about when he characterized the military-industrial complex as one of the greatest dangers in modern America. This is only one facet of corruption codified by Congress and the federal budget.

The U.S. Marshals Service and Naval Criminal Investigative Service are offering a combined reward of up to $40,000—$20,000 from each agency—for any information leading up to the arrest of fugitive Leonard Francis.
Also known as “Fat Leonard,” Francis was the military contractor who pleaded guilty in 2015 of bribing Navy officials and was on home-confinement in San Diego. His escape came weeks before he was scheduled to be sentenced for his role in an expansive bribery scheme involving scores of U.S. Navy officials, tens of millions of dollars in fraud and millions of dollars in bribes.
His current whereabouts are unknown. https://gcaptain.com/u-s-authorities-offer-40000-reward-for-fat-leonard-tips-leading-to-arrest/
