This Honolulu Architect Admitted To Bribery. But He Still Has His License… Despite pleading guilty to a job-related felony, William Wong was able to renew his license for another two years.
Honolulu architect William Wong pleaded guilty last year to paying over $100,000 in bribes to city permitting employees, and he faces prison time at his sentencing in October.
But for now, he’s still working as an architect and interacting with the Honolulu Department of Planning and Permitting.
Wong’s state-issued architect license is in good standing. The state board that oversees his profession just renewed his license for another two years, a government database shows. And he continues to submit permit applications to the city permitting department, according to his attorney, Megan Kau.
