Attorney’s representing Mike Miske, the former Honolulu businessman accused of controlling a racketeering enterprise, filed several documents in court last week that included lists of items seized when search warrants were executed in July 2020 when Miske and most of his co-defendants were picked up in a sweep by federal agents.

Among the locations were the offices of Kamaaina Termite and Pest Control on Queen Street in Kakaako, and the Oahu Termite and Pest Control office in Pearl City, as well as the Kuuna Street home in Kailua where Miske was arrested, his palatial home in Hawaii Kai, and another home he purchased out of foreclosure in Hawaii Kai just six months before his arrest.

Keep in mind that Miske had several years to clean things up after he knew he was under investigation and charges were almost certainly coming. In 2014, a $400,000 drug deal was broken up by federal agents in California, and two of Miske’s associates detained but released. In December 2015, he was arrested, with federal agents present along with Honolulu police officers. By 2017, he retained a high powered criminal defense attorney, Lynn Panagakos, and told her he was the target of a criminal investigation. A second criminal attorney, Thomas Otake, we retained a month later. Otake and Panagakos serve as co-counsel leading Miske’s defense.

Panagakos attached the search warrant inventories as exhibits to a motion filed in court in dispute over the amount of information being withheld by prosecutors from evidence being turned to defense attorneys.

The inventory of items seized from the Kamaaina Termite office appears below.

The lists are, well, interesting.

Digital devices–computers, iPads, and phones–seemed to be found in abundance. Business records from Miske’s various entities were scattered through the different offices, with some boxes of records also found in his residences.

Cars. Quite a few of them. Business vehicles don’t appear to have been seized, only personal ones. Investments? Collectibles?
