This painting, “Graffiti does it,” by the Los Angeles artist known as OG Slick, is the only one of 28 assets owned by convicted crime boss, Michael J. Miske, Jr., that will not be forfeited to the government as a result of his conviction last week on federal murder and racketeering charges.

The jury’s decision in Phase II of the trial devoted to the forfeiture issue was entered in Honolulu’s Federal District Court on Wednesday. The first phase of the trial ended last Thursday with the jury’s guilty verdict on 13 of 16 criminal counts.

The assets targeted for possible forfeiture ranged from a luxury home overlooking the water at Portlock, valued at $7.3 million for real property tax purposes but previosly appraised at over $10 million, to a group of paintings including several by OG Slick, as well as cash held in several bank accounts.

“Graffiti does it” was apparently excluded from forfeiture because it was given to Miske as a gift from the artist, and had not been purchased with proceeds from his criminal enterprise.
