It was a lavish carousel of expensive dinners, prostitutes, and bribes, putting the Navy to shame...
▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪
The Justice Department unsealed a fresh indictment Tuesday charging eight Navy officials — including an admiral — with corruption and other crimes in the “Fat Leonard” bribery case, escalating an epic scandal that has dogged the Navy for four years.
Among those charged were Rear Adm. Bruce Loveless, a senior Navy intelligence officer who recently retired from a key job at the Pentagon, as well as four retired Navy captains and a retired Marine colonel. The charges cover a period of eight years, from 2006 through 2014.
The Navy personnel are accused of taking bribes in the form of lavish gifts, prostitutes and luxury hotel stays courtesy of Leonard Glenn “Fat Leonard” Francis, a Singapore-based defense contractor who has pleaded guilty to defrauding the Navy of tens of millions of dollars.

I just posted the same article 2LT (Join to see). I'm hoping they take away retired rank and money if they are guilty as charged but Im sure the brass will figure some way around it.

This is the moral degradation of the Ranks. I am not saying you have to be perfect but you dam well need to make an attempt live by the Navy Motto Honor, Courage, Commitment.
I hope they all get pounded with the book and I hope its public, the message needs to be sent to the fleet that this kind of crap will not be tolerated, that was tens of Millions of Dollars we could have used to refeb ships, pay for training, upgrade dilapidated systems... This has to be the most costly hookers and dinners in History.
