MICHAEL LIZASO MARASIGAN

Languages: English, Tagalog

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.

Marasigan has ties to Guam and the Philippines.  He is a dual citizen of the United States and the Philippines, and holds passports for both countries.
