Retired US Navy Admiral Arrested for Alleged Bribery Scheme

Robert Burke accused of securing contracts for a tech firm in exchange for a high-paying job post-retirement.

Robert Burke, former vice-chief of naval operations, charged with bribery and conspiracy.
Co-CEOs of Next Jump, Yongchul 'Charlie' Kim and Meghan Messenger, also arrested.
Burke allegedly awarded a $355,000 contract to Next Jump in return for a $500,000 salary and stock options.
The bribery scheme purportedly took place from 2020 to 2022, involving Navy training contracts.
Burke's lawyer claims the timeline of events does not support the bribery charges.
