Reason for listing
Violation of Conditions of Pretrial Release (Conspiracy to Operate Illegal Gambling Business; Money Laundering Conspiracy; Money Laundering; Conspiracy to Commit Wire Fraud) Michael Lizaso Marasigan is wanted for violations of his pretrial release. From March of 2015, to December 31, 2021, he and his co-conspirators defrauded bingo patrons at the Guam Shrine Club’s (GSC) Hafa Adai Bingo by misrepresenting to them that their funds would be used for transporting children to the Shriner’s Hospital for Children in Hawaii for medical care. The defendants’ operation of the illegal gambling business and fraud scheme generated at least $34 million in bingo proceeds. Instead of allocating the fundraising proceeds for the nonprofit organization’s children transportation fund, the defendants laundered funds and diverted approximately $10,750,804 million of the proceeds for themselves and others. In May of 2025, Marasigan was found guilty on charges of Conspiracy to Operate Illegal Gambling Business, Money Laundering Conspiracy, Money Laundering, and Conspiracy to Commit Wire Fraud. He filed and was awarded a Stipulation to Travel with the court, which allowed Marasigan to travel to the Philippines for medical reasons. Marasigan did not return on the required date and ceased contact with the court in June of 2025. On June 25, 2025, a federal arrest warrant was issued for Marasigan in the United States District Court, District of Guam, Hagatna, Guam, after he was charged with Violation of Conditions of Pretrial Release. On May 18, 2026, Marasigan was sentenced in absentia to 262 months in federal prison, and ordered to pay $10,750,804 joint and several restitution to the Aloha Shriners, $5,871,493 money judgment forfeiture, and $6,500 mandatory assessment fee. The FBI is offering a reward of up to $150,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Michael Lizaso Marasigan. SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AN ESCAPE RISK
