Yup. That's him. I was understanding and patient for a long time because he seemed like a straight up kinda guy. But when he stopped communicating, EVERYONE got pissed.

[strikeout]Is this the guy on the radio show on 99.5?[/strikeout]

[edit] Found my answer.  It's a different guy.

The radio show I listen to is titled "The Good Life Hawaii" by a different guy, Pastor Danny Yamashiro.

Hawaii On Target (DARIN HAITSUKA), listed ten's of thousands of rounds of mini mags for sale on gunbroker.com, collected payments, did not ship ammo and has not refunded money to most buyers. Many, many excuses, including his associate Dexter Chun was assaulted at warehouse in California, had broken bones and was badly beaten up, causing another delay. Gunbroker buyers are trashing HOT in feedback, using words like SCAM, RIPOFF and FRAUD (that was my word).  When things got hot, Darin went dark, no longer answering any emails or phone. Last email said to call Alex Kim @ HOT for refunds. Phone is never answered. Messages aren't returned.

Is he really an FFL, as indicated on gunbroker?

Since KHON2 has interviewed Darin before, as a firearms safety expert, I have contacted them to see if they would like to interview him again.

Truly amazing that he thinks he can do this and get away with it. If he would communicate his problems, I'm a pretty understanding guy. But when you have people's money and cut off communications, it looks like a planned ripoff.

He's got some serious problems. Hope he works them out. A KHON2 news story would almost certainly shut him down.

I'm pretty sure this would not happen.

By accounts I'm able to see, Darin, who was an acquaintance and previous instructor in the community, is no longer here and has passed on.  Out of respect, I would just encourage us not focus talk on an individual who is not able to come forward and defend themselves because they are dead.

Well you're wrong. It is the same guy. Unless he "passed on" once he realized people weren't fine with him taking their money and not providing a product as promised and giving excuse after excuse.

Well I will tell you on his facebook is a few posts about him being dead with no follow on posts and a shit ton of people offering condolences and the like.  If someone has done that (faked a facebook death), they drop to a new low in my book.  Macsak has told me he has seen him since then so I will definitely believe him over all.

I would still encourage people to focus on the business practices and first hand information.

Is this current postings about being dead? Because he emailed me on 5/14/16. And even signed the bottom of the email with a lower case "darin". So I am pretty sure that isn't a standard default signature.

Unless he died in the last few days it's bs. I've even found him on fb and I don't see anything about him having passed away.  Funtimes might be thinking of a different person

Ok guys.  I just got a threatening phone call.  If I say anything that pisses someone off too bad.

I am not Dexter Chung or Chun. I  not affiliated with Hawaii on target or Darin H.

My name is Dexter Lum and most of you know me. 

Whoever just called me and blocked their number you are a chicken shot.  I hope you have the balls to call me and apologize.

There is another Darin H on Facebook.  That is his distant cousin. About the same age.  But he hardly knows his cousin.  Don't harass him please.  He's a salesman at Toyota. He use to work for me back in the day.

So that's not the Darin you're looking for.
