Controversial Casino Agent Michael J. Malik is a Police Reservist?

According to the MLive.com last year Feds were looking into finances and other curious activity in Oakley, MI and discovered that controversial casino man Michael J. Malik, Sr. is a police reservist in the Saginaw County Village. See documentation uncovered and released by the Feds below. 

Now, why would the 61-year-old millionaire need to have a reservists badge. And more so, why would the Oakley Police be considering a reservist with such strong gambling industry ties.

In 2009 when Malik filled out the application pictured below he described his abilities as:

Business and development skills, 45 years of boating skills on the great lakes, excellent shooting skills, excellent people skills, strong in political skills & contacts, real estate broker.

Lists as friends:

• William Serwer (his lawyer)
• David Gorcyca (former Oakland County prosecutor)
• Bud Halewicz

Malik represented his business as MJM Enterprises Development which he described as a Major Entertainment Development enterprise and says the company was working on casino development in New York, Michigan, California and Antigua. He indicated he also owns World Famous Whitetail Hunting Lodge and Animal Scent Co.

Loewenstein admitted that there has been a lot of confusion over the approval process.

"The confusing aspect of this project is that the stage it is at doesn't have timelines associated with it," Loewenstein said. "It took them so long to review it that the data got old.
