HONOLULU, Hawaii (Hawaii News Now) - It sounds like the plot of a crime drama: An organized crime boss orders a hit on a man in order to get revenge for the death of his son. But federal prosecutors investigating Mike Miske, the alleged leader of what they describe as a sprawling criminal enterprise, say that’s exactly what happened. And Lindsey Kinney says he was caught in the middle of it. Kinney says in 2016, he was offered $50,000 to kill a young man named Johnathan Fraser but he turned it down. Kinney said that decision — to deny Miske’s request — put his own life in danger. In 2017, he said, Norman L. Akau III told him Mike Miske wanted to fight him near Kualoa Ranch on Oahu. But when Kinney showed up, he narrowly escaped gunfire. Months after Kinney said he turned down Miske’s request to kill Fraser, the 21-year-old vanished. Fraser was the sole survivor of a Kaneohe car crash the year before, in which Miske’s son, Caleb, died. Kinney said after the crash, Miske started plotting Fraser’s murder. In this episode we discuss the events above, Lindsey's dedication to God and more.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/toddatkinsshow/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/toddatkinsshow/support

Marcelo Tigre was one of the combatants in the biggest MMA fight in Hawaii history along with Egan Inoue. This fight took place in June of 1999 at the Neal Blaisdell Center on Oahu.  This fight was the culmination of a rivalry that was built on the back of the Pan Am riot between Grappling Unlimited and Relson Gracie.  In this episode we talk about that rivalry and how Marcelo ended being the one to take part on the Relson side.  We also talk about his gym on Oahu which he ran for 5 years and his institute in Brazil which is helping to provide for the less fortunate.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/toddatkinsshow/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/toddatkinsshow/support
