Run Leonard, Run!
“Fat Leonard” Francis
A scant three weeks before facing sentence in a Federal District Court, Malaysian contractor Leonard Glenn Francis, known as Fat Leonard cut his monitor and slipped away from house arrest. He was cooperating with prosecutors on his orchestration of the largest corruption scandal in US Navy history.
Security at Fat Leonard’s place of confinement was sketchy at best, and the Mexican border is ~40 miles south. Hasta, Leonard.
‘Fat Leonard’ behind Navy bribe scandal escapes house arrest ahead of sentence
By Mark Moore
“Fat Leonard” is on the loose.
The former military contractor at the center of the largest corruption scandal in the history of the US Navy escaped from house arrest in San Diego over the weekend by cutting off his GPS monitor — weeks before he was to be sentenced for defrauding the service of at least $35 million.
Leonard Francis, who had been under home confinement since 2018, was reported missing Sunday by police after the federal Office of Pretrial Services — which had been monitoring him — reported a problem with the GPS monitor.
Police conducting a welfare check found the discarded ankle bracelet at Francis’ home and contacted US Marshals.
The San Diego Regional Fugitive Task Force was activated and Naval Criminal Investigative Services is also involved.
Supervisory Deputy Marshal Omar Castillo said neighbors reported seeing U-Haul trucks coming and going from Francis’ multimillion-dollar home in a gated community, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
Last laugh?
I suppose a caravan of U-Hauls in California isn’t an unusual sight these days, but ya gotta admire his chutzpa. Now why a wealthy, corrupt foreign national charged with embezzling some $35M from the Navy was on an ankle monitor, well. Let’s just say he’s fortunate he wasn’t a threat to the Clintons, but still couldn’t be allowed to testify.
Thanks to the usual suspects who brought this to light.

OT… guess who’s geetting out of jail soon:
The real deal
I wish they had sent him to a mental hospital instead. Now, he will get right back to it when he gets out.
Four YEARS under house arrest awaiting sentencing. Guess different rules for different people. Probably could have finished his sentence and got out in that time.
I’ve actually been waiting for this to happen. I’m surprised he didn’t do this earlier. Maybe he realized he had an opportunity to bolt because the Federal Bureau of Inquisitions was too busy rifling though Melania’s underwear.
“POOF”
Did anybody check the office at All Points Logistics?
Damn! You beat Hack Stone to the punch. Hack was going to post “Reliable sources indicate that he was enroute to Merritt Island Florida, to seek sanctuary at corporate headquarters of All Points Logistics.
ROFL YES! When I read that comment my first thought was, “That looks like something Hack Stone would write.”
My comment exactly. Should have scrolled down a bit. Early day today after a late night.
Yes, Fat Leonard is one of Phildo’s idols.
Now, hear me out…maybe the whole running to Mexico thing or even the All-Points gambit is what he WANTS you to think. Instead of sunny Mexico or Merritt Island, he may be hiding out in a nondescript house on Wilson Lane in Bethesda, MD!
Phil Monkress is probably fingering his two-hole as we speak.
Hack Stone will stop one edition of outdated overpriced Red Hat Software that Fat Leonard knows something as to (see what Hack did there?) the disappearance of Elaine Ricci.
“Hack Stone will stop one edition…” “Stop? What the hell is Hack Stone thinking. Sure, it was 1:00 AM. It should have been “Hack Stone will bet one edition…”
A dude so heavy he can tip over small islands, and so big he can be seen from space. Good luck, Leonard.
Well, at least they know he is not going to Guam.
Why this piece of shit was under “house arrest” rather than behind fucking bars where he belongs is a mystery to me.
I’m pretty sure he won’t get very far. And when they catch up with him, THIS time he’d better end up in an 8’x10′ cell!
No mystery at all. he had dirt on someone powerful enough to pull the right strings.. (Prez Sniffy maybe?) Whoever it was, they must have figured the time was right, as NDHoosier above pointed out.
He is probably hiding at the HQ for All-Points Logistics in Merritt Island, Florida.
I mean, this clown is like Phildo’s idol and all….
No, as I mentioned above, my money is on a home on Wilson Lane in Bethesda.
A convicted con artist criminal awaiting sentencing for potentially decades in prison out on house arrest ran away? That is so weird and unpredictable.
Great…
(Sarcasm implied)
Of course this shit stain, who is a major blemish on the Navy’s reputation, who was lightly guarded, and whose house was not too far from the Mexican border because reasons, got away. At this point, I’m not even surprised with our justice system anymore. 🤬
I wonder who he bribed to get House Arrest?
Well, in California, take your pick…
With the dems insistence on non-custodial rehab, I doubt he had to spend more than $15.00 to get house arrest.
Hillary Clinton is impressed.
