The military contractor known as “Fat Leonard,” the mastermind behind the worst public corruption scandal in U.S. Navy history who was three weeks away from being sentenced in the case, is on the run.
Leonard Glenn Francis, who has been under house arrest, cut off his GPS monitoring ankle bracelet and absconded from his San Diego home sometime Sunday morning, said Supervisory Deputy U.S. Marshal Omar Castillo.
Pretrial Services, the federal agency monitoring Francis, was alerted to an anomaly with Francis’ bracelet, and Francis’ defense team went to check on him, knowing he has a history of health issues. An attorney called San Diego police about 1:45 p.m., saying Francis was not answering their knocks or messages, and asked for a welfare check at the home in the Torrey Highlands neighborhood, according to police officials.

“Neighbors in the gated community told authorities that they had seen U-Haul moving trucks going in and out of Francis’ home in the days leading up to his escape, Castillo said. It was not known if neighbors knew Francis was the tenant of the sprawling multi-million dollar home, which, according to real estate websites, has five bedrooms and seven baths. No one reported the moving trucks as suspicious, he said.”
“U.S. District Judge Janis Sammartino had called for constant security 24 hours a day at Francis’ home. The security was provided by an unnamed private company, with Francis footing the bill.”
Was he teamed up with the Cosby Kids?
Sounds like Fat Leonard knows something about our “government” that the rest of us law-abiding chumps don’t.
I hear that he loves to play tackle.
Rudy helped him go on the lam. After all, he’s like school in the summertime.
I thought they replaced him with “Fit Leonard”
He doesn’t fit in my screen.
I wonder why?
Was he on plane trips with Jeffy Epstein and Slick?
Should be sent to a firing squad.
Speaking of scams. What do you call all those attorney feeding frenzy ads on TV advocating for the Camp Legeune so called victims.
The media is so in on it. Lawyer don’t run ads on TV if they don’t triple the return on them.
Clever would have been to put the ankle monitor bracelet on a dog’s collar.
Lawyer don’t run ads on TV if they don’t triple the return on them.
“Morgan and Morgan, For the people “.
Call Dog.
I can imagine someone nicknamed “Fat Leonard” loping down the street away from some vaguely interested police.
“He’s gradually getting away!”
Seriously though, how does an ankle bracelet getting cut off not trigger a more urgent alert to the US Marshalls?
What happened to the QC lady that was falsifying audit records for valves on nuclear submarines.....?
Probably works for it, or has political friends in very high places...he is a Malaysian citizen who was tricked to get him to leave Singapore for California where the feds could nab him. Seems odd to let such an international personality loose with just an ankle monitor.
Shed the fat suit and no one is looking for Skinny Lenny.
