The operation, which touted itself as the best bingo experience on Guam, promised money would be used for a transportation fund for flying sick children to Shriners Hospital in Honolulu.<\/p>\n<p>Hafa Adai Bingo laundered millions from the $34 million the operation generated, according to federal authorities.<\/p>\n<h1>Bingo operator promised funds for sick children<\/h1>\n<p>A former Shriners parent of the outreach clinic met Marasigan in the Guam bingo hall years ago.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cHe 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\u2019i,\u201d the former Shriners parent told HNN Investigates.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt made me so angry that he lied not only to my face, but to everybody in that bingo hall several times a week,\u201d the former parent said.<\/p>\n<h1>Families struggled with travel costs<\/h1>\n<p>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\u2019i.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/hawaiimovinginsider.com\/?p=1310\">Hawaii Supreme Court to hear case regarding Honolulu Zoo elephants<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe would say, oh, but we can\u2019t afford for the parent.
