I've listened to a few episodes of his show, I just didn't like when he was a guest on Bandsplain.No. But I know who you're talking about because she comes on his pod. He's more my style but she's cool
My go to pods are Sasquatch Chronicles, Monsters Among Us and The Confessionals
He was a navy contractor - resupplied and provided safety for ships while they were docked in certain Asian ports. Started a significant system of bribing officers and providing prostitutes. Eventually positioned himself to receive top secret naval info and would then manipulate the officers he had bribed to shift schedules for ships to come to ports he controlled. Then he would over-charge the navy. Was arrested in the 2010s. Slipped his home arrest and escaped to Venezuela en route to Russia. Ended up being stuck in Venezuela until earlier this week, when they sent him back to the US. WSJ has had a couple of recent articles on the scandal. And now the prosecutor who was in charge is under fire and some of the officers involved are having their charges reduced significantly. In the end, from my perspective, Fat Leonard hurt the navy significantly. Leadership in the 7th fleet was hit hard.What was the Scandal about?
