This picture shows him masked up for another robbery. He threw it all away for a $355k contract.

This is the tip of the iceberg.

A jury convicted former Vice Chief of Naval Operations ADM Robert Burke of four counts related to what prosecutors call a bribery scheme to get Navy contracts in exchange for a post-retirement job.

Most likely, this turd had a retirement pension exceeding 150k per year from the US government.

But in summer 2021, Messenger and Kim met with Burke in Washington, D.C., to reestablish their company’s business relationship with the Navy. While at the meeting, the two “agreed that Burke would use his position as a Navy Admiral to steer a contract” to their firm — as well as influence other Navy officers to award another contract to the company — in exchange for his future employment there, according to the Justice Department.

Burke in December 2021 then ordered his staff to award a $355,000 contract to Next Jump to train personnel under Burke’s command in Italy and Spain, which the company performed in January 2022.

Burke was accused of making several false and misleading statements to the Navy to conceal the scheme, such as implying that his discussions to join Next Jump began months after the contract was awarded.

In October 2022, Burke began working at Next Jump with an annual salary of $500,000 and a grant of $100,000 in stock options.

Burke’s convictions of bribery and conspiracy to commit bribery are punishable by up to 20 years in prison, while the other charges are punishable by up to 30 years.
