Business Insider: A former Navy captain pleaded guilty to bribery on Wednesday for accepting nearly $68,000 in luxury hotel rooms, dinners, alcohol-fueled parties, and sex workers from a Singapore-based defense contractor.
In his plea agreement, Donald Hornbeck, 61, admitted to accepting the gifts from Malaysian businessman Leonard Glenn Francis, nicknamed “Fat Leonard.”
In exchange, Hornbeck shared confidential information with Francis and helped steer Seventh Fleet business to ports servicesd by Francis’ ship husbanding company that serviced US Navy ships in the Asia Pacific region.
Authorities say that Francis overbilled the Navy over the years by over $35 million. more here
Should of changed his name to Hunter Biden.
Hookers and the Navy, so what else is new. It affects all rank from high- ranking Officers all the way down to the newest FNG in the Navy overseas.
Just imagine what a civilian admiral dude wearing his mommy’s dress to work can get away with.
A Captain at 61?
Okay – .gov site has his crimes 15 years ago. So late forties.
Keel haul the bastard.
After seeing the Navy through my son’s experience in the Navy, I don’t have any respect for most officers unless they’re NCOs.
I’d be interested in which ships were involved.
A Captain? Really? Bitch was some procurement officers secretary. He was giving away pricing. As a DLA Contractor I’d like to see his ass hauled out to see about a 100 miles and see if he could swim back. Traitorous bastard.
That’s what I call a good deal: $35 million for a $ 68,000.
Prime material for working in DC.
Know we know why daddy obtained the direct commission for Hunter. They are both glad it didn’t workout because Ukraine and China were so much more lucrative.
My son said it was mostly small boys in the ports involved.
Apparently Fat Leonard has been trying to get ahead of the Navy guys on this. Giving interviews and such for the past few weeks.
Capt is an O-6 in the Nav , next move up involves taking a star , and undoubtedly more politics . 61 as an O-6 is respectable in my book , and Singapore would be a great place to coast into retirement . Sounds like he was making the best of his twilight years in the Nav …. and engaging in some of the best of cultural exchanges Singapore had to offer . This happens quite often , he should’ve been more discrete in graft he was engaging in . Not condoning , but not surprised . Damn Squids !!
