1. Here's the link. Apparently he escaped house arrest in SD 2 weeks ago.

How f'ed up is our news that his escape was barely reported?

2. Traded house arrest for real prison. Bold move, let's see if it works out for him.

4. I think he was already convicted - awaiting sentencing

He skipped out. But he may get yet more time now......

8. Why has it taken 7 years for sentencing?

He escaped just three weeks before he was set to be sentenced.

Francis, whose nickname "Fat Leonard" came from his then-400-pound heft, pleaded guilty to bribery and fraud charges in 2015.

9. I believe he was cooperating with the DOJ to nail some of the crooked admirals.

My recollection, which could be faulty.

10. So should Venezuela fly him to Abbot or Death Sentence?
