Captain Lausman had to have known the indictment was coming. He was interviewed by investigators and I'm sure he was following the Fat Leonard case. Imagine having that hanging over your head. Both Lausmans were very active in neighborhood social and athletic events. It's amazing they were able to keep appearances up.

It is the house on Riley Grove hole 9. Big Oak tree on right side of fairway. Also lists him as "Disabled Ex-Service Member", for a $5000 reduction in property taxes. All public records. Way beyond embarrassing. Probably will end up in Military Court under the UCMJ (Uniform Code of Military Justice). Laws are different in the Military. |

If the USN is reluctant to withdraw pension benefits as it hits extended family members, yet has the option to reduce the rank of those convicted, maybe they should reduce all convicted to Able Seaman.

No such thing in the navy as able seaman, seaman recruit, seaman apprentice and seaman-- seaman would do the job

It's not every day that potential treason took place by someone who was in the military...much less that they're living in your own neighborhood.

This question really has nothing to do with Lausman in particular, but could someone please explain how the Navy cannot court martial these officers? To let these men keep full pensions, full rights and honorable discharges just doesn't compute to me. This betrayal is far worse to me than anything any of the Fat Leonard crew did. The idea that they can be buried in a military cemetery with full honors just seems so very, very wrong. And the excuse that innocent dependents shouldn't suffer just doesn't fly.

From the Stars & Stripes 3/17/17 article:
"Twenty-seven people have been charged with crimes since the investigation became public in 2013, including eight Navy officers indicted this month. Authorities say the case is still unfolding and that more than 200 people - including 30 admirals - have come under scrutiny." 30 admirals ! .

He served his country. The least we can do is give them all the chance to defend themselves. I feel extra sorry for the families who are collateral damage in this case. The people who have been in the service who share on this subject on TOTV see to want to burn this guy now, that surprises me. Let due process take its course. What a damn shame.

The evidence is mighty clear. They will get the best lawyers their money can buy but hopefully it will be in a military court where the jury will be senior officers (not on the take) and justice will prevail.
No, the families knew of the schemes so do not feel sorry for them. |

OK....News Flash... For a complete up-date on this subject all you need to do is Google .... Fat Leonard .... that will lead you to a whole bunch of news on most of those involved. This will hopefully give those who are defending the friend and neighbor a complete incite on what charges he is faced with.
No rumors, no finger pointing, all facts. Some of those involved have already faced the music and know their fate. This as you will find out has been going on for a very,very long time. What I find troubling is the Sailor who is serving time ( Enlisted ) in Leavenworth for taking photo's on a Submarine that were not uploaded, or given to anyone...and he is doing time right now..That said I don't know the full story on that. Come to your own conclusions on the Fat Leonard Scandal... a lot of Officers and Some Enlisted are involved and the investigation is ongoing. Google is an excellent source for information. |
