“Michael Miske’s death was unexpected and may terminate some of the ongoing criminal
proceedings. The United States spent years investigating Miske’s large-scale criminal enterprise and then years preparing for one of the most grueling trials in this office’s history. Justice was served in the process but aspects of the case remain unfinished. In particular, we are committed to pursuing recovery of the assets found forfeitable by a federal criminal jury and will file pleadings in court as necessary and appropriate,” U.S. Attorney Clare Connors said in a news release.
What does Miske’s death mean for accused co-conspirators, victims?
“He was never coming out of prison, except if he was in a box. And then at his age, his life expectancy was probably another 30 years. So to think of that kind of life, he’d rather go than stay,” attorney Michael Green told KHON2.
