Fat Leonard escape another blunder in major US military corruption scandal
BY ELLEN MITCHELL THEHILL.COM
UPDATED SEPTEMBER 09, 2022 6:31 AM

In a scene from a thriller, a 350-pound cancer patient at the center of the biggest U.S. military corruption case in the last decade cut off his GPS ankle monitor this past weekend and fled from house arrest, weeks before he was finally set to be sentenced.

The manhunt for Leonard Francis - the Malaysian contractor known an "Fat Leonard" who pleaded guilty in 2015 to cheating the Navy out of tens of millions of dollars - has quickly pulled in at least 10 federal, state and local agencies and likely reached across the Mexican border.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
