In his plea agreement, Cullen admitted to accepting a total of $23,000 in bribes from Honolulu businessman Milton Choy, who stood to benefit from legislation promoting publicly financed cesspool conversion projects. Cullen also said he took $22,000 in gambling chips from Choy during a trip to a New Orleans wastewater conference.
