Honolulu Businessman Milton Choy Had Been Working For Years With Feds On Legislative Bribery Case … The owner of a wastewater business has been a prolific campaign donor and received millions in sole-source government contracts over the years.
Milton Choy, the well-heeled and politically connected owner of a wastewater business, has been working with federal investigators on a bribery case involving Hawaii lawmakers for years, his attorney says.
Choy, who was identified only as Person A in federal charging documents released Tuesday, is at the center of the bribery scandal involving two former lawmakers who have been charged with felony wire fraud.
Former state Rep. Ty Cullen and former state Sen. J. Kalani English were charged Tuesday in a bribery scheme that took place over the last several years to influence policymaking over wastewater treatment and cesspools in Hawaii. Cullen and English are expected to appear in court Tuesday.
