Navy bristling from case alleging contractor bought secrets with hookers, Lady Gaga tickets
SAN DIEGO — Nicknamed “Fat Leonard,” the gregarious Malaysian businessman is well known by U.S. Navy commanders in the Pacific, where his company has serviced warships for 25 years.
But prosecutors in court papers say Leonard Francis worked his connections to obtain military secrets by lining up hookers, Lady Gaga tickets and other bribes for a U.S. commander, in a scandal reverberating across the Navy.
<snip>
Misiewicz and Francis moved Navy vessels like chess pieces, diverting aircraft carriers, destroyers and other ships to Asian ports with lax oversight where Francis could inflate costs, according to the criminal complaint. The firm overcharged the Navy millions for fuel, food and other services it provided, and invented tariffs by using phony port authorities, the prosecution alleges.
So far, authorities have arrested Misiewicz; Francis; his company’s general manager of global government contracts, Alex Wisidagama; and a senior Navy investigator, John Beliveau II. Beliveau is accused of keeping Francis abreast of the probe and advising him on how to respond in exchange for luxury trips, prostitution services, etc. All have pleaded not guilty. Defense attorneys declined to comment.

But cutting the defense budget that spends more than the rest of the world combined would only be aiding our enemies! ::)
Scumbags like this do more harm than any terror attack.
What if a Chinese, North Korean or Russian sub was stationed in the right place at just the right time?
Hang the bastards!!

There are corrupt people every where.
It's what proves the "humanists" theory of essential human goodness is wrong.

As a former Naval Officer I am very disappointed that someone could be bought of with Lady Gaga tickets of all things.

TAB, I realize you're young, but you need to think twice when the defining word is "crazy" in any situation.
