Miske properties targeted for forfeiture

The government intends to seek the forfeiture of more than $11 million in cash and property belonging to former Honolulu business owner Michael J. Miske Jr., who is accused of controlling a racketeering organization behind the facade of his several businesses. A list of the properties the U.S. seeks to have forfeited was filed in Honolulu’s Federal District Court on Monday, December 4.

The government wants to seize the properties if Miske and his three remaining co-defendants are convicted in their upcoming trial, scheduled to begin on January 8.

The property includes cash held in business bank accounts, a million-dollar cashier’s check, Miske’s luxury home in Portlock and a small home in Enchanted Lake, five vintage cars (including a 1951 VW) along with a 2017 Ferrari F12 Berlinetta, artwork and other items, all owned by Miske or his companies.

Among the art is a version of this sculpture, “Uzi Does It,” by Los Angeles graffiti artist OG Slick, who was born and raised in Hawaii. Also on the government’s list is a Hawaii Longline Limited Entry Permit held by the Miske-owned fishing vessel “Rachel,” and Painkiller, a 37.5 foot Boston Whaler, which was damaged when searched by the FBI in 2017.

The document was filed in federal court on Monday, December 4.

    Did you mean 37.5ft Boston Whaler? 375 ft Whaler would be awesome to see, though! 🙂 Thanks as always for your in depth and insightful blog!
