Following a years-long federal investigation, authorities executed raids across Oahu on Wednesday morning and arrested Hawaii businessman Mike Miske as part of a 22-count indictment that alleges he was involved in a murder-for-hire scheme and used his “reputation for violence in the community” to enrich a criminal enterprise and his associates.

 

Miske was named in the indictment along with 10 alleged co-conspirators. Together, they face an outrageous list of charges ― from murder to kidnapping to racketeering and even the alleged use of a chemical weapon. Federal authorities have scheduled a 1 p.m. news conference to discuss the case.

 

Raids were also executed at other locations on Oahu. Hawaii News Now has learned that the operation was so large that the FBI flew in dozens of agents, including a SWAT team from Quantico, to assist.

 

 

The indictment was unsealed Wednesday morning and alleges that Miske used a legitimate business ― Kamaaina Termite ― as a “headquarters” for planning criminal activities, laundering the proceeds of those crimes and fraudulently “employing” individuals who were engaged in acts of violence.

 

Those acts of violence allegedly include the murder of Jonathan Fraser, who was in a car crash in March 2016 that killed Miske’s son, Caleb. Months later, Fraser went missing. The indictment alleges that Miske conspired to kidnap Fraser and then paid associates to have him killed.

 

“Miske enterprise” was also involved in a laundry list of other illegal activities, from “various forms of fraud” to “fraudulent fumigation practices” to employment tax evasion schemes, extortion, robbery, money laundering, and narcotics trafficking.

 

The indictment even alleges Miske and several associates released a chemical weapon ― namely, chloropicrin ― into nightclubs in Honolulu.
