Leonard Francis, a Malaysian military contractor infamously known as “Fat Leonard,” was sentenced to 15 years in prison for orchestrating the largest corruption scandal in U.S. Navy history. Operating out of Singapore, Francis led Glenn Defense Marine Asia and bribed Navy officers with cash, luxury gifts, and lavish experiences in exchange for steering contracts to his shipyards, leading to an overcharge of $35 million. Despite pleading guilty in 2015, Francis fled house arrest in 2022, only to be captured in Venezuela and extradited to the U.S. His cooperation with investigators helped convict numerous high-ranking Navy officials.
