SAN DIEGO — Mar 15, 2017, 2:15 AM
Officers in a burgeoning Navy bribery scandal called themselves the Lion King's Harem, the Wolfpack, the Cool Kids and the Brotherhood. They scouted for others who might also accept sex, trips and other lavish perks from a Malaysian defense contractor known as "Fat Leonard" in exchange for classified information.
Allegations outlined in an indictment unsealed in San Diego on Tuesday give more details in the 3-year-old scandal that had appeared to be fading before re-emerging even bigger and more sordid than before.
Nine current and former military officers were charged in the latest indictment, including a recently retired rear admiral who collected foreign intelligence for the Navy's Seventh Fleet.

We shouldn't forget that the military services are government agencies.

This is not the first time Fat Leonard has been caught bribing US Navy officers. The last time it got publicity was during the Bush II admin. It is kind of funny nothing was ever put out on this during the last 8 years, but Fat Leonard was still bribing away.
