Fat Leonard

‘Fat Leonard,’ fugitive in Navy bribery case, facing extradition to US

By Lolita C. Baldor and Julie Watson

The extradition of convicted defense contractor Leonard “Fat Leonard” Francis to the United States as part of the Venezuelan prisoner swap on Wednesday is the latest twist in a decade-long salacious saga and bribery scheme that swept up dozens of American Navy officers.

One of the biggest bribery investigations in U.S. military history led to the conviction and sentencing of nearly two dozen Navy officials, defense contractors and others on various fraud and corruption charges. And it was punctuated by Francis’ daring escape last year, when he fled from house arrest at his San Diego home to South America.

An enigmatic figure, Francis owned and operated his family’s ship servicing business, Singapore-based Glenn Defense Marine Asia Ltd. or GDMA, which supplied food, water and fuel to vessels. The Malaysian defense contractor was a key contact for U.S. Navy ships at ports across Asia for more than two decades. During that time he wooed naval officers with Kobe beef, expensive cigars, concert tickets and wild sex parties at luxury hotels from Thailand to the Philippines.

It’s done. The Fat Leonard saga has been long and vastly amusing but all good things must end. It took a Presidential drug deal to get him back from Caracas. Venezuela turned him over in a prisoner exchange where Sleepy Joe granted clemency to a prominent moneyman for President for Life Nicolás Maduro. He swapped a prisoner accused of illegally moving hundreds of millions of dollars for the Venezuelan regime in exchange for Fat Leonard, who’s real sin was embarrassing the regime we have here.

Then again Fat Leonard has been full of surprises, hasn’t he? Thanks to all who sent this one in.

Rope, scaffold, this criminal (and all that have aided and abetted him). Some assembly required. Film at 6 & 11.

At 350 pounds, you better get a really thick rope. Also, with all that mass suddenly coming to a stop at the end of a rope, be prepared for the head to “pop” off.

Nah, just a shorter drop to get enough speed to break his neck only. Hangmen used to be pretty good at knowing how far to drop them. Amateurs, not so much. It pays to hire pros.

This includes the drop calculation tables but they only go up to 220 pounds. Fuck it, give it a go at the length prescribed for 220 pounds and over: 5’1 and see what happens.

Fat Leonard was in business for a very long time and had business across the entire Pacific with the US Navy. Literally, a systemic breakdown of corruption.

So with the right “donations” to the right “Foundations” etc, he’ll likely skate given what a whorehouse Washington DC is these days.

The Lolita Express far east style, his black book is well guarded.
