The Fat Leonard scandal is an ongoing investigation and prosecution of corruption within the United States Navy during the 2000s and 2010s. It has involved ship support contractor Glenn Defense Marine Asia (GDMA),a Thai subsidiary of the Glenn Marine Group. The Washington Post called the scandal "perhaps the worst national-security breach of its kind to hit the Navy since the end of the Cold War." The company's chief executive,president,and chairman,Malaysian national Leonard Glenn Francis bribed a large number of uniformed officers of the United States Seventh Fleet with at least a half million dollars in cash,plus travel expenses,luxury items,parties and prostitutes,in return for classified material about the movements of U.S. ships and submarines,confidential contracting information,and information about active law enforcement investigations into Glenn Defense Marine Asia. Francis then "exploited the intelligence for illicit profit,brazenly ordering his moles to redirect aircraft carriers,ships and subs to ports he controlled in Southeast Asia so he could more easily bilk the Navy for fuel,tugboats,barges,food,water and sewage removal." The Navy,through GDMA,even employed divers to search harbors for explosives. He also directed them to author "Bravo Zulu" memos,which is an informal term for a letter of commendation from the Navy given to civilians who have performed outstanding services for the Navy,in order to bolster GDMA's credibility for jobs "well done".
