Podcasts about fat leonard

Hosted by: Damon, Damon, & Tisha Guest Hosts: CMDCM Aaron Paul & YNCS (Ret.) Coby Turner Featured Guest: CMDCM Frank Jackson   In this week's episode of Permission to Speak Freely, the crew jumps straight into chaos—because why ease into anything?   We open with a wild Facebook post about a military divorce that involves a holiday party hookup, a surprise paternity reveal, and a woman wondering if she's still entitled to half her retiring husband's paycheck—even though the kid ain't his and the CO might be the father. Yeah… it gets there fast. And no, we're not making any of that up.   From there, the conversation pivots into the serious stuff: leadership, accountability, and the fallout from yet another high-profile scandal in the Navy. The crew breaks down what happens when people at the top forget who they're supposed to be—and what it means when everyone below them sees it happening. Guest, CMDCM Frank Jackson brings the heat with talk of Bathsheba Syndrome, Fat Leonard comparisons, and the quiet rot that builds when no one speaks up.   We also unpack a Reddit post that calls out toxic command climates, and instead of brushing it off, the crew actually leans in and listens. Add in a “do better” submission about LPO drama, some hard truths about the Chief season grind, and a little command identity crisis (spoiler: quarterdecks don't belong in office buildings), and this episode covers it all.     To have your “Do Better” reviewed on a future episode, please get in touch with us at ptsfpodcast@gmail.com   Keep up with the ‘Permission to Speak Freely' podcast on our social media and YouTube - https://linktr.ee/Ptsfpodcast     Additional Credits: PTSF “Theme Music” - Produced by Lim0

The podcast episode explores Fat Leonard: The Con Man Who Corrupted the US Navy by Craig Whitlock, focusing on the astonishing true story of Leonard Glenn Francis and his large-scale corruption scandal involving the U.S. Navy. Hosts Jerry and Stably delve into the book's narrative, beginning with Francis's origins as a Malaysian entrepreneur and his rise as a defense contractor, where he exploited weaknesses in Navy operations. Through bribes, lavish gifts, and manipulation, Francis secured lucrative contracts while engaging in systematic fraud, inflating invoices, and misappropriating resources.The hosts highlight how Francis's operation thrived in an environment rife with negligence and complicity, exposing systemic vulnerabilities in military oversight. They discuss specific examples, such as the misuse of Navy funds for personal gain and the pervasive culture of secrecy and entitlement that allowed Francis's schemes to flourish. The story is presented as both riveting and disheartening, with the moral complexities and human failings of those involved taking center stage.Jerry and Stably reflect on the broader implications of the scandal, including its impact on trust in military institutions and the challenges of reforming such entrenched corruption. Despite its detailed account of misconduct, the book is acknowledged as an engaging and accessible read that illuminates a lesser-known aspect of military history. The discussion blends critique, analysis, and a touch of incredulity at the audacity of Francis's operations, making for an insightful exploration of a shocking case of institutional failure.

FAT LEONARD: #1 New York Times bestselling author Craig Whitlock's masterful account of one of the biggest public corruption scandals in American history-exposing how a charismatic Malaysian defense contractor bribed scores of high-ranking military officers, defrauded the US Navy of tens of millions of dollars, and jeopardized our nation's security. All the admirals in the US Navy knew Leonard Glenn Francis-either personally or by his legendary reputation. He was the larger-than-life defense contractor who greeted them on the pier whenever they visited ports in Asia, ready to show them a good time after weeks at sea while his company resupplied their ships and submarines. He was famed throughout the fleet for the gluttonous parties he hosted for officers: $1,000-per-person dinners at Asia's swankiest restaurants, featuring unlimited Dom Pérignon, Cuban cigars, and sexy young women. On the surface, with his flawless American accent, he seemed like a true friend of the Navy. What the brass didn't realize, until far too late, was that Francis had seduced them by exploiting their entitlement and hubris. While he was bribing them with gifts, lavish meals, and booze-fueled orgies, he was making himself obscenely wealthy by bilking American taxpayers. Worse, he was stealing military secrets from under the admirals' noses and compromising national security. Based on reams of confidential documents-including the blackmail files that Francis kept on Navy officers-FAT LEONARD is the full, unvarnished story of a world-class con man and a captivating testament to the corrosive influence of greed within the ranks of the American military. "Explosive, brilliantly reported and meticulously documented, Craig Whitlock's Fat Leonard reads like a thriller but depicts one of the most sordid chapters in U.S. military history, a tale of brazen corruption that soiled the Navy and is an infuriating insult to the American taxpayer. You won't be able to put this book down, and you won't stop wondering how it could have happened."-David E.

In episode 2065, we discussed the Malaysian contractor, Leonard Glenn Francis (aka: Fat Leonard) about the biggest recent scandal in the US navy. But, as Guy Lawson, author of Hot Dog Money explains in this episode, Louis Martin “Marty” Blazer gives Fat Leonard a good run for his money (so to speak) in Blazer's participation and later expose of the profoundly corrupt nature of American college sports. The US college sports “economy”, Lawson explains, is a huge deception - from the lie of amateurism to the way in which television sports revenue has transformed many academic colleges into media companies. As Lawson notes, you couldn't make up the story of Marty Blazer. And the biggest scandal of all is that the lie of amateur college sports continues to generate massive wealth to American universities and media companies. Guy Lawson is an investigative reporter who has looked closely at crime over the course of his career — and notes that the predatory ecosystem around NCAA sports is essentially an organized crime ring. His bestselling book War Dogs was made into the 2016 feature film starring Jonah Hill and Miles Teller, and his writing has appeared in Rolling Stone, the New York Times Magazine and Harper's. In light of Blazer's untimely passing, Lawson is now the keeper of his story. Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

Anyone even remotely around the Navy or the national defense area in DC and the Pacific knows this two words, “Fat Leonard” and the unprecedented impact it has had on the navy as an institution and its very highest uniformed leadership for well over a decade. Visiting the topic on Midrats for the full hour will be Craig Whitlock, investigative reporter for The Washington Post. #1 NYT Bestselling author of "Fat Leonard: How One Man Bribed, Bilked, and Seduced the U.S. Navy" (2024) and "The Afghanistan Papers: A Secret History of the War" (2021).

Fat Leonard was “a maritime fixer who provided harbor protection, barges, cranes, food, fresh water, sewage collection, and anything else a nuclear powered aircraft carrier might need.” It's absolutely astonishing how easily Leonard corrupted so many ranking Navy officers by providing them with prostitutes, booze, cash and airline tickets.Craig Whitlockhttps://twitter.com/CraigMWhitlockFat LeonardHow One Man Bribed, Bilked, and Seduced the U.S. Navyhttps://www.simonandschuster.com/authors/Craig-Whitlock/162473096 Follow Jeff Stein on Twitter:https://twitter.com/SpyTalkerFollow SpyTalk on Twitter:https://twitter.com/talk_spySubscribe to SpyTalk on Substackhttps://www.spytalk.co/Take our listener survey where you can give us feedback.http://survey.podtrac.com/start-survey.aspx?pubid=BffJOlI7qQcF&ver=short

Last week, five former officers tied to the "Fat Leonard" corruption scandal had their felony convictions overturned because of misconduct by prosecutors. What does that mean for the future of the case?

Naval Betrayal Exposed: The Scandalous Saga of 'Fat Leonard' Unveiled The Not Old Better Show, Art of Living Interview Series Welcome to a riveting episode of "The Not Old Better Show" on radio and podcast. Today's episode is brought to you by Newspapers.com. Today, we delve deep into one of the most shocking scandals to rock the U.S. Navy. I'm your host, and in this episode, we explore the book "Fat Leonard: How One Man Bribed, Bilked, and Seduced the U.S. Navy," authored by Craig Whitlock, an esteemed Washington Post journalist whose relentless investigation sheds light on a saga of corruption that seems straight out of a high-stakes thriller. A tempest of decadence and deceit was brewing in the tranquil waters of the Western Pacific, beneath the veneer of routine naval operations. At the center of this storm was Leonard Glenn Francis, a charismatic defense contractor who earned the nickname "Fat Leonard." His arsenal? Luxurious dinners, lavish parties, and an endless supply of bribes. From lobster thermidor to Osetra caviar and vintage champagnes, Leonard knew the price of everyone's silence. For over a decade, Leonard's influence ran deep, seducing high-ranking officers with the allure of opulence they seemingly couldn't refuse. In return, they turned a blind eye as Leonard overcharged and defrauded millions from U.S. taxpayers, all under the guise of servicing fleet necessities. But how did Leonard weave such an intricate web of influence and corruption? And at what cost to the integrity of the U.S. Navy? Join us as Craig Whitlock takes us behind the scenes of his ten-year investigation, unraveling a complex narrative enriched by terabytes of leaked government data and a trail of greed that leads straight to the top. Today, we'll confront the hard truths about the vulnerabilities within our armed forces and ponder the price of unchecked entitlement and power. Prepare for a discussion that is as enlightening as it is unsettling, as we ask tough questions about responsibility, reform, and the way forward for America's naval guardians. This is not just a story about one man's corruption; it's a cautionary tale about what happens when guardians become exploiters. So, stay tuned as we navigate the choppy waters of justice, accountability, and the arduous task of cleaning house in one of the nation's most respected institutions.

//The Wire//2130Z May 22, 2024////ROUTINE////BLUF: U.S. TAPS NORTHEAST GASOLINE RESERVE. U.K. PM CALLS FOR NEW ELECTIONS.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-United Kingdom: PM Rishi Sunak has called for a snap election, scheduled to take place on July 4th.-HomeFront-California – Yesterday a judge dismissed the criminal felony convictions of five former Navy officers as part of the infamous “Fat Leonard” corruption scandal. All five officers had admitted to, and were convicted of, receiving bribes as part of the 2013 investigation. AC: The Fat Leonard corruption scandal is one of the most widely-documented and infamous cases of military corruption to strike the Pentagon within recent memory. Allegedly, these convictions were dismissed at the request of the U.S. government, however this cannot be independently confirmed at this time with any certainty.Washington D.C. – The White House authorizes the release of 1 million barrels of gasoline from the Northeast Strategic Reserve allegedly to combat high gas prices.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: This strategic reserve release (amid reports of a highly kinetic hurricane season looming) is probably intended to remove strategic assets rather than reduce gas prices. Gas prices during this year's Memorial Day travel weekend are unlikely to be affected much by a strategic release either. Per the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), last year the United States averaged using around 376 million gallons of gasoline per day. For perspective and scale, the release of one million barrels (42 million gallons) from a strategic reserve could fuel the United States' gasoline requirements for a little over 2.6 hours.Analyst: S2A1//END REPORT//

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 12-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 21,248 on turnover of 2.7-billion N-T. The market lost ground on Tuesday - as financial and old economy stocks led a downturn. This comes after President Lai Ching-te's inaugural address on Monday failed to offer any surprises to boost market sentiment. Analysts say the bellwether electronics sector remained resilient (有彈性的) through much of the trading day. This stabilized the broader market on the back of gains posted by tech stocks on Wall Street overnight. US Urges China to Act with Restraint The United States is urging Beijing to act with restraint and not use Taiwan's transition as a pretext for provocative or coercive (脅迫的) actions. According to a U-S State Department spokesperson, Washington welcomes the comments made by President Lai Ching-te in his inaugural address. In the speech, Lai voiced his commitment to peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait and to maintain the status quo. The spokesperson says the inauguration was part of a normal, routine democratic process. The spokesperson says if Beijing chooses to escalate tensions or pressure Taiwan as a result, it "should be seen as the provocateur (挑釁者)." The spokesperson also stressed that U-S policy toward Taiwan has not changed and it continues not to support Taiwan independence. Taiwan and Paraguay Sign MOU to Build E-Bus Plant Master Transportation Bus Manufacturing has announced that it will invest 30-million U-S dollars to build an electric bus manufacturing and assembly plant (組裝廠) in Paraguay. The statement follows the signing of a memorandum of understanding in Taipei between the company and the Paraguayan government. According Master Transportation Chairman Wu Ding-fa, the project's goal is to "enhance the development of public transportation in Paraguay". When completed, the plant will create an estimated 2,600 local jobs. Under the M-O-U, the bus manufacturer will establish the first fast-charging bus chassis and body manufacturing plant in Paraguay. And the manufacturer will assist in bringing a Taiwan-developed intelligent transportation system to the South American country.

The statues were returned from the collection of New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. The objects — a tall bronze figure called the Standing Shiva and a smaller sculpture called Kneeling Female — are thought to be around 1,000 years old. The Metropolitan Museum had announced last year that it would return more than a dozen artifacts to Thailand and Cambodia after they were linked to the late Douglas Latchford. The art dealer and collector was accused of running a huge antiquities trafficking network out of Southeast Asia.

A federal judge has dismissed the felony convictions of five retired military officers who had admitted to accepting bribes from a Malaysian contractor Leonard Francis, nicknamed “Fat Leonard. AP's Lisa Dwyer reports.

When the U.S. Navy needed something in the South Pacific or Asia, Leonard Francis seemed to be able to provide just about anything. Nicknamed "Fat Leonard," Francis showered senior officers with bribes - lavish dinners, prostitutes and gifts. In exchange, the officers kept lucrative contracts flowing to Francis's companies, which often overcharged the government for services and supplies. Francis was also able to extract something even more valuable than Navy contracts: classified information. Join us for a conversation with author and Washington Post reporter Craig Whitlock whose scintillating new book "Fat Leonard" dives into one of the wildest scandals in U.S military history.

Marshall and Craig discuss how a Malaysian defense contractor, Leonard Francis (nicknamed "Fat Leonard"), bribed scores of high-ranking U.S. Navy officers across three decades, defrauded the Navy out of tens of millions of dollars, exposed vast security and counter-intelligence gaps in the military, and the reforms needed to prevent future corruption scandals.

It's a mind blowing story. In Fat Leonard, the Washington Post's prize winning investigative journalist Craig Whitlock tells of a Malaysian contractor called Leonard Glenn Francis who successfully seduced up to a thousand US naval officers with prostitutes, fancy dinners and expensive gifts. The most astonishing thing of all, he explains, is that many Naval officers seems to have known exactly what Fat Leonard was up to. So what, I asked Whitlock, does this tell us about the state not just of the Navy but of all the armed services.

Every now and again (about once a month), a Stinker comes along and is just such a damn rapscallion that it's hard to do anything but love him. Fat Leonard is the most recent example.

Leonard Francis executed a naval corruption scheme like no other – plying admirals and officers with booze, parties and prostitutes in return for lucrative navy contracts. His story involves sexual kompromat, a daring escape to Venezuela, and now, a prisoner swap with a suspected money launderer. But how did Whale Hunting host Tom Wright discover this shocking scoop? And what was it like spending so much with a powerful criminal and master manipulator like Leonard Francis?

The guys start by getting caught up on how they bought in their New Year's. Damon's turning over his roles as he's waiting to hear what his next command is. Damo talks about returning to work following an extended period of leave. He also talks about coming back and having to directly deal with adversity. The internet was set ablaze last week with the unsealed Jeffrey Epstein documents and Katt Williams' viral interview. The crew of the USS Carney were awarded the Combat Action Ribbon for their actions in the Red Sea. The US Army has ended a policy that allows Soldiers to store vehicles and household goods for free while deployed. A new system promising to improve shipments of household goods has been delayed. Is it finally over for Fat Leonard? Royal Caribbean is currently hosting a 9-month cruise, which sounds crazy, but we pretty much do it all the time, with fewer perks. Do Better: The iPhone alarm/ electricians fighting over material ownership (Damo). Being more proactive with assignments from school (Damon). Do Better leads to a question about how we can prioritize, encourage, support, measure, and evaluate training. The guys break down OSTC and Vessel Exception, expounding on the concepts that were introduced in Ep. 96. What are some things an LCPO may want their Sailors to gain from the NJP process? Should Sailors always receive the same disciplinary reward if they committed the same offense or is there a case-by-case basis that should be considered? Damon and Damo reflect on the most useless pieces of equipment they ever had to use at work. Is the USN a “what have you done for me lately” organization? Is that Damon with the surprise book review? Let's go!

This week on Fat Leonard we're sharing the first episode of a new four-part series from Brazen called ‘The Professor'. William Veres is in trouble. In 2018 he was arrested following the largest ever investigation by the Italian police's art squad. They accuse him of running a pan-European art-smuggling ring with ties to the Sicilian mafia. He is alleged to have stolen $40 million worth of art and antiquities from Italy. Charged with 14 counts, including money laundering, forgery, wire fraud and conspiracy, he faces a jail term of up to 20 years.  But he has a plan to get out of trouble.  In this four-part podcast, host Simon Willis follows him as he puts that plan into action. It's a story that takes listeners deep into the underworld, and into the dark heart of the most famous criminal organization of them all – Cosa Nostra.  It is a story of drug dealers, hitmen, smugglers, spies – even a corrupt prime minister. And in the middle of it all is William Veres's quest to save himself. How? By solving the coldest cold case in the history of art crime – the theft of Caravaggio's Nativity.  The Professor is a series for Hidden Worlds, the home of unbelievable true stories and gripping investigations into shadowy places.
