(AmericanProsperity.com) – Hawaii crime boss Michael Miske managed to pull off one last eyebrow-raising stunt as he was found dead in his prison cell.
The 50-year-old mobster and leader of the notorious “Miske Enterprise” was discovered unresponsive in his cell at the Federal Detention Center in Honolulu just weeks before his sentencing.
Despite life-saving efforts, he was pronounced dead, with the cause of death still unknown.
The convicted criminal mastermind faced a staggering 13 charges, including racketeering conspiracy, murder in aid of racketeering and kidnapping resulting in death.
His criminal empire’s activities started in the late 1990s and continued until June 2020, leaving a trail of destruction across Hawaii.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office in the District of Hawaii explained:
“According to the evidence presented at trial, during at least the late 1990s and through June 2020, Miske and other codefendants conspired to conduct and participate in the conduct of the affairs of a racketeering enterprise, the ‘Miske Enterprise,’ through a pattern of racketeering activity. The racketeering activity included acts involving murder, kidnapping, and robbery.”
One of Miske’s most chilling crimes involved the disappearance and presumed murder of Jonathan Fraser, a friend of his late son Caleb.
Miske orchestrated a sinister plot of revenge as he believed Fraser was responsible for his son’s death in a car crash.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office further said:
“During the trial, evidence was produced that from about March 2016 and continuing to about July 30, 2016, Miske conspired with others to kidnap and murder 21-year-old Johnathan Fraser in the belief that Fraser was responsible for Miske’s son’s death as a result of an automobile crash.”
The extent of Miske’s criminal activities is truly shocking. His enterprise was involved in a wide range of illegal operations, including murder-for-hire schemes, chemical weapons attacks and obstruction of justice.
In a particularly disturbing incident, Miske conspired to release chloropicrin, a chemical weapon, into nightclubs in Honolulu in March 2017.
As part of his conviction, the government seized $28 million of Miske’s illegal assets, including boats, homes and artwork.
