MOST WANTED FRAUDSTERS:
News Release from FBI, June, 2026
(NOTE: Scroll down for Guam Shriners Hospital scammer.)
John Michael Dimitrion and his wife, Julieanne, were indicted in February 2009 for mortgage fraud. In April of 2009, they pled guilty to operating a fraud scheme in which they used their companies to convince distressed homeowners to relinquish their homes with the premise of improving the victims' financial position. They promised to invest the proceeds of the home sales, but instead the Dimitrions used the victims' money to fund their own lavish lifestyles. As a result, multiple families in Hawaii lost their homes.
The Dimitrions were scheduled to be sentenced in the United States District Court in Honolulu on July 6, 2010, but failed to appear at the sentencing. A federal arrest warrant for failure to appear was then issued for each of them.
The FBI is offering a reward of up to $150,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of John Dimitrion and Julieanne Dimitrion. Anyone with information about the whereabouts of either of these subjects can submit tips at http://tips.fbi.gov, by calling 1-800-CALL-FBI, or by contacting the nearest FBI field office: https://fbi.gov/wanted/most-wanted-fraudsters.

HR: FBI Hunts for Fugitive Married Couple Who Defrauded Oahu Homeowners- Reward Offered | Hawaii Reporter “Multiple Oahu families lost their homes as a result of the DIMITRIONs’ crimes.”
SPLC: Looking for ‘Little Brother’ “Then, on Dec. 3, 2010, John disguised himself as an epileptic who needed treatment at a mainland hospital. Lying on a gurney and attached to fake medical machines, he was wheeled toward a privately chartered jet heading for Utah, while Julieanne posed as his nurse….
“I was absolutely shocked when I heard how they got out of town. Where the hell did that come from?” said attorney Michael Green, who represented John Dimitrion. He added, “Somebody reached out to them.”
Two years after their disappearance, sources within the FBI and Justice Department tell the Intelligence Report that the Dimitrions’ sophisticated flight from justice was orchestrated by the Republic for the united States of America (RuSA), the largest and most organized group of “sovereign citizens” in the country.
In late 2010, the Justice Department believes, John Dimitrion and RuSA’s president, James Timothy Turner, began corresponding online and immediately hit it off. With Turner referring to Dimitrion as “Little Brother,” plans were soon hatched for what would become a rescue mission.
The flight out of Hawaii was only the first part of their journey, however. The FBI now knows that after landing in Utah, the Dimitrions traveled to South Alabama, where they lived in a mobile home on the banks of Lake Eufaula, a sprawling lake along the Georgia border about 50 miles from Turner’s home in Ozark, Ala. As the investigation continued, the FBI added the couple to its “Most Wanted” list and offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to their capture. Last July, their case was featured in the premier episode of CNBC’s “American Greed: The Fugitives.” But by the time the Dimitrions were tracked to Lake Eufaula, they were gone again….

Reward: The FBI is offering a reward of up to $150,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Michael Lizaso Marasigan.
Remarks: 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.
Caution: 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.

‘So angry’: Former Shriners parent recalls Guam bingo fraudster now on FBI list
HNN June 12, 2026: … “He would stand up and tell them, oh, thank you for coming out. This is for Shriners Hospital. This is for the transportation of our children so that they can go to Hawai’i,” the former Shriners parent told HNN Investigates.
Last month, Marasigan was sentenced in absentia and ordered to pay $10 million to the Aloha Shriners. Court documents say he wanted to travel to the Philippines for medical care, but then ghosted authorities.
“It made me so angry that he lied not only to my face, but to everybody in that bingo hall several times a week,” the former parent said.
Families struggled with travel costs
The former parent said the popular bingo operation and the fake fundraising left many families with hardships as they tried to figure out how to fly between Guam and Hawai’i.
“He would say, oh, but we can’t afford for the parent. Oh, but we can’t afford for the change fees,” the former parent said. “And it did not add up when I could see that the bingo hall was completely full. It was disgusting to tell you the truth.”
Angela Keen, a former Shriners Hospital employee, reported marketing violations to the nonprofit’s headquarters in 2017….
