US Navy officers who shared military secrets see felony convictions dismissed

Leonard Glenn Francis, better known as "Fat Leonard," is a 6 feet, 3 inch tall, 350 pound former Malaysian defense contractor who bribed hundreds of Navy officers for classified information for more than 20 years. He eventually defrauded the U.S. government and American taxpayers out of at least $35 million dollars until he was caught in a sting operation in 2013. After Francis’ arrest, nearly 1,000 Navy officers came under scrutiny, including 91 admirals. Federal prosecutors brought criminal charges against 34 defendants.
