\"Leonard Glenn Francis, a Malaysian defense contractor, has pleaded guilty to bribing "scores" of Navy officials with cash, prostitutes and other gifts --- such as hotel stays, airfare and electronics --- so that they would feed him classified or inside information, which he used to defraud the Navy. The slowly unfolding investigation has exposed a staggering degree of corruption within the 7th Fleet.\
\
Civilian authorities have filed criminal charges against 30 people. According to the Navy, an additional 480 active-duty and retired military personnel -- including about 60 admirals -- have come under scrutiny for possible violations of military law or ethics rules. \"\
