Fat Leonard and the Navy
Those admirals must have been pretty bullet proof for a while.

For Fat Leonard, conning the U.S. Navy was a big piece of cake.
The Navy allowed the worst corruption scandal in its history to fester for several years by dismissing a flood of evidence that the rotund Asian defense contractor was cheating the service out of millions of dollars and bribing officers with booze, sex and lavish dinners, newly released documents show.
The Singapore-based contractor, Leonard Glenn Francis, found it especially easy to outwit the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS), the renowned law enforcement agency that has inspired one of the longest-running cop shows on television.
Starting in 2006, in response to a multitude of fraud complaints, NCIS opened 27 separate investigations into Francis’s company, Glenn Defense Marine Asia. In each of those instances, however, NCIS closed the case after failing to dig up sufficient evidence to take action against the firm, according to hundreds of pages of law enforcement records obtained by The Washington Post under the Freedom of Information Act.

I've been following the Post's excellent reporting on this for the past 2 years or so. Still, most people I know seem unaware of it, even ones I consider to be well-informed people. Here we have rampant fraud, corruption and vice at the highest echelons of the Navy and it elicits a collective shrug. Where is the public outrage, where are the Congressional hearings?
