Fat Leonard and the Navy

"SAN DIEGO — It started with an invitation to the Broadway production of The Lion King in Tokyo for the Navy commander, his wife and their children.

In the end, the Malaysian defense contractor known in military circles as “Fat Leonard” would use prostitutes, plane tickets and other bribes to hook the U.S. Naval officer into a scheme that overbilled the Pentagon by millions, investigators say in court papers.

According to the court documents, Navy commander Michael Vannak Khem Misiewicz passed confidential information on ship routes to Leonard Francis’ Singapore-based company, Glenn Defense Marine Asia Ltd., or GDMA.

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, the criminal complaint alleges. The firm overcharged the Navy millions for fuel, food and other services it provided, and invented tariffs by using phony port authorities, prosecutors say."


:shock:

Holy crap, some Malaysian dude dictated where our ships went? :o Hang all of those involved. :nod:

Wait, no one is concerned that some Malaysian big wig had a direct hand in redirecting specific U.S. Navy ships into certain ports? :shock:

The security issue alone is bigger than the money issue. People should hang for this. :nod:

If allegations are proven to be true, then yes.


As for lack of comments, I think your thread title has most of us thinking it was about Cap'n Cat's latest porno.

I find it hard to believe that ONE Naval Officer had that much power regarding where ships ported...
