Woman Pleads Guilty to Conspiracy and False Tax Return Charges in Hawaii Federal Court after getting caught Depositing and FedEx’ing more than 1/2 Mil in Prostitution Proceeds to her Husband in New Jersey Meet 38… Scroll down to read more!




Meet 38 y/o Khamwika Ernst.  Upon information and belief that is her below…
On Monday, September 14th 2015 Khamwika pleaded guilty in federal court in Hawaii to an indictment which charged her and her husband Michael, a U.S. Navy veteran, with conspiracy and filing over $525,000.00 worth of false tax returns from 2008 to 2014, money which prosecutors claimed that Khamwika (who also reportedly goes by the names “Gigi”, “Sky”, “Cindy” and “Apple”) earned as a prostitute, and, now having admitted the same she now faces ten (10) years in federal prison after her sentencing hearing which is presently scheduled for January, 2016.
Interestingly, while I researched this story I came across a report – which I cannot confirm but found interesting enough to mention – that claims that not only do (did) Hawaiian police enjoy (enjoyed) an exemption (the only exemption in all of the 50 Unites States) to prostitution laws which permits (permitted) Hawaiian cops to actually have sex with prostitutes during the course of an investigation, but that when local lawmakers sought to close the legal loophole Hawaiian police put up a fight (you can see the news report on this side-story by clicking here).  No wonder the cops are always so happy on 5-0… but I digress….
Anyhow, back to the case in point…  Khamwika and Michael Ernst were married in Hawaii in 2004 and resided there together until 2010 when Michael was transferred back to the contiguous States by the Navy.  Meantime, Khamwika and the couples young son remained in Hawaii until 2014, when they finally moved to New Jersey to be with Michael.  But, before she moved to Jersey, prosecutors alleged that Khamwika made substantial money as a prostitute and that she would routinely deposit her cash earnings, ranging from $1,000.00 to $10,000.00 at a time, into a joint bank account which she shared with Michael at the Navy Federal Credit Union in Hawaii, and Michael would then transfer the funds from Hawaii to New Jersey.  When the Navy Credit Union began to question the large and consistent cash deposits Khamwika stopped making them, changing her tactic to simply shipping cash via FedEx to Michael in New Jersey,  Unfortunately, the situation had already been reported to the U.S. Attorney’s Office’s and they intercepted a FedEx package from Khamwika to Michael which contained $7,400.00 in cash, leading to the couples indictment in March, 2015.  
Michael took his own life in April, 2015, just one month after being Indicted in the case at bar (his obituary can be seen by clicking here).   At her change of plea hearing Khamwika, the widow, admitted that $390,000.00 of the $515,000.00 was used to purchase the family’s Newton, New Jersey home without a mortgage or any financing.



Michael had reportedly spent twenty (20) years in the Navy, retiring as a First Class Petty Officer and having served his country honorably in Operation Enduring Freedom and in both the Afghan and Iraq wars, but his duties as a both a husband and a citizen were not so honorable, perhaps explaining his shameful demise.




Meantime, looking at the numbers Khamwika must have been a pretty good hooker ; but looking at the outcome she was also a pathetic business woman and tax evader. Consistent cash deposits. Patterns. She made it all too easy for the feds.  Here’s my suggestion for initial reading materials when Khamwika hit’s Club Fed….
