Hello all.
I too am very interested in this message board when I googled Darin's name
after seeing him on TV.
So the question was asked:
How does this guy stay in business?
Answer:
He will eventually shed skins and do some other business.
He's done it before and will likely do it again when the next
trend hits Hawaii. They'll need salesmen and since he's got
nothing to lose...
If you might remember a few years ago... a particular Nokia
cellular phone was very common/popular. A LOT of people
had this model (Which I cannot remember the model #), but
they had kiosks at shopping centers where they'd sell different
color skins and cases and so on.
Darin was selling these cellular phones and airtime plans to
people who were looking to buy.
Because the whole plan required a large payment at the start,
Darin would take his commission immediately and start to
spend it, rather than reinvesting it and making that entity grow.
An older fellow who ran a payroll company gave him a small
operating space and helped fund this endeavor...
but it was clear that Darin wasn't focused on maintaining the
whole business.
The two guys eventually split apart, and I can't find his ex-partner's
payroll company listed in the phone book, so I dunno if it's still in biz.
Then I'll fast-forward some 10 years to NOW, and I see this jerk-off
on the news, promoting his company. My jaw
hit the floor, and I was completely astounded that he somehow
managed to do business as a firearms dealer, and convince the TV
station to do a story on them.
I told my mother, who ALSO KNOWS him from when I was a
kid. She too, saw him and couldn't get over how fat he became.
So I had to see if he had a positive reputation online. This message
board came up 2nd or 3rd on the search results.
But that is the short/long story about Darin in another time, doing the same crap.
Thx for reading.
