Crawford, and Mr. Cole appeared and provided testimony. At that particular meeting, I
<br />think Mr. Henricks came in late.” Mr. Henricks, a former state circuit court judge
<br />Henricks, states, “and didn’t hear the testimony.” I believe that as I was sitting there,
<br />Mr. Henricks—Judge Henricks did in fact come in late, but I think he arrived before the
<br />meeting was gaveled in and therefore did in fact hear the entire testimony.
<br />
<br />Going on, the information I have provided--as you know I have filed information with the
<br />Federal Bureau of Investigation, Assistant Section Chief of Public Corruption/Civil
<br />Rights, is special agent Patrick Bohrer, actions against this board for public corruption,
<br />money laundering, extortion, racketeering, bank and tax fraud, in the Hawai‘i County
<br />government, and the board’s action as accessory after the fact to those charges. In my
<br />testimony, you keep hearing me say that I’m bringing this information before this board
<br />in accordance with Title 18, United States Code, Subsection 4, misprision of felony. This
<br />board, being sworn members, and having the effect of law by statute of its rules and
<br />regulations, is by definition an authority under the United States, and therefore I am
<br />required by federal statutes in the United States Code to bring this information to you.
<br />
<br />I wish to read the exact laws here that you have been charged with and you will be facing
<br />here shortly. Misprision of felony, Section 3—4, of the United States Code, Title 18.
<br />Whoever having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of
<br />the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to
<br />some judge or other person in the civil and military authority in the United States, shall
<br />be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than three years, or both. So therefore I am
<br />completing my obligation to bring this forth. What we have here, is I brought forth
<br />against you money laundering, racketeering. We have a financial institution manager
<br />here, Mr. Blausis [sic] and right now the County of Hawaii, the people of the County of
<br />Hawaii, are paying $66,000 to the Bank of Hawaii on a $10 million bond anticipation
<br />note that was illegally issued by the Mayor, Billy Kenoi, where that same $10 million was
<br />placed into the First Hawaiian Bank at one-tenth the interest, at no benefit whatsoever to
<br />the people of Hawai‘i, in violation of the County Charter. Mr. Balstis [sic] here and
<br />apparently the rest of the board see nothing wrong with that, even though he has been a
<br />manager of a financial institution for 17 months or 20 years here now, is renowned as an
<br />executive, and he finds nothing wrong with that type of action. So basically the accessory
<br />after the fact is that you people are using your position to prevent the apprehension and
<br />the enforcement of the laws.
<br />
<br />I read the law: Title 18, Part 1, Chapter 1, Subsection 3, accessory after the fact.
<br />Whoever, knowing that an offense against the United States has been committed,
<br />receives, relieves, comforts, or assists the offender in order to hinder or prevent his
<br />apprehension, trial or punishment is an accessory after the fact. An accessory after the
<br />fact shall be imprisoned not more than one-half of the maximum term of imprisonment,
<br />fined not more than one-half the maximum fine prescribed for the punishment of the
<br />principal or both. You are accessory after the fact to bank fraud. I read the law: United
<br />States Code, Title 18, Part 1, Chapter 63, Subsection 1344, bank fraud. Whoever
<br />knowingly executes or attempts to execute a scheme or artifice to obtain any of the
<br />monies, funds, credits, assets, securities, or other properties owned by or under the
<br />custody or control of a financial institution by means of false or fraudulent pretense,
<br />
