Case Story |

Business Gone Bad |
|
| |
Bank fraud convict Henry Jacinto Calucag is currently big news on the island paradise of Hawaii. Federal, state, and county task forces are investigating a trail of theft, fraud and disappearances that spans almost 20 years.
Police in Hawaii say three former business partners of Calucag all embarked on similar trips to the Philippines under the auspices of buying property -- but none of them ever returned home. Arthur Young's disappearance back in 1990 was the first. Douglas Ho left with Calucag in 2004 and was reported missing by his family in January 2005. The third associate, John Elwin, left for the Philippines in early May of 2006. Police say his body was discovered in a province outside Manila with gunshot wounds to the head and chest.
Authorities say the story doesn't end there. According to police documents, money, property or both money and property formerly belonging to these men wound up in Calucag's possession.
Investigators on the Calucag case say he's a master con artist who may be responsible for swindling millions of dollars in cash and property away from their rightful owners.
In September of 2007, Calucag was sentenced to 30 years in prison with a mandatory 10 year minimum prison sentence. |

Who Is Henry Jacinto Calucag? |
|
| |
During their ongoing investigation of Henry Jacinto Calucag, law enforcement in Hawaii has been steadily building a portrait of the man with at least 18 aliases.
Although he's a convicted con artist, police say Calucag was able to infiltrate Hawaiian society. Cops say Calucag also claimed to own ProNetwork Center -- a successful tech company that allegedly did business with the Office of Homeland Security. However, the address was a single mailbox in the Philippines and there was no Homeland Security contract.
Authorities tell AMW that they uncovered sources who knew Calucag and shared some interesting information: the would-be millionaire drove a beat-up car, lived above a friend's paint shop and at one time asked a friend for a small loan.
Calucag was also known under the alias 'Hank Jacinto' within the elite polo community on Hawaii -- the same community where he met John Elwin back in 1994. Police say that Calucag at one time was asked to leave a particular polo club after he allegedly stole a pair of one-of-a-kind riding boots from another club member.
However, authorities say that Calucag has had more than a few run-ins with the law. According to federal court documents, he spent eight months in a federal prison after pleading guilty in 1995 to five counts of bank fraud in which he deposited bogus checks into accounts he opened using false names and then withdrew the money.
In 1999, he began serving an additional 16 months in federal prison after admitting he bought a sport utility vehicle and obtained leases on computers using false names and false credit histories while on parole. |

AMW In The Philippines |
|
| |
In November 2006, America's Most Wanted went to the Philippines to look into the businesses that Calucag had established on the island.
Up until his arrest in September, Calucag's website for his company, ProNetwork Center, boasted an annual revenue of $65 million dollars, 63 employees, and Department of Defense contracts. However, after Calucag's arrest, the website no longer mentioned 'Hank Jacinto' or ProNetwork's annual earnings and reduced the staff to only sixteen.
Furthermore, America's Most Wanted went to the location listed on each of Calucag's businesses' websites. ProNetwork Center, Philippine Escrow & Title Corporation and an orphanage program called The Philippine Mission Foundation all listed a business office in Quezon City. However, when AMW arrived at the address, it didn't look like the offices of multiple multi-million dollar corporations. The offices housed only a few desks and neighboring businesses we interviewed said workers came and went with little frequency.
Prosecutors back in Hawaii say that Calucag is a career criminal who has been duping and conning the business people of Hawaii for years and the ventures he started in the Philippines point to more of the same. With his capture, they hope that a prolific con man's legacy of deceit has been ended.
