The Company (Hawaiian organized crime)
The Company, also called the ''Hawaiian Syndicate'', is the name given to an organized crime syndicate based in the island of Hawaii that controlled criminal activities on the island from the late 1960s to the mid 1990s.
==History==
Through the 1960s organized crime in Hawaii was controlled primarily by local Asian criminal organizations, mainly Chinese Triads, Japanese Yakuza, Korean Kkangpae and Samoan criminal outfits. The first change came when a local Korean named ''George Chung'' in 1962 formed his own criminal organization, recruiting among local Koreans, Japanese, Chinese, Samoans, as well as among Native Hawaiians, who had become an impoverished minority community on their island. Over time, where originally the smaller local and different ethnic gangs all vied for control of organized crime, leading to disorganized clashes, Chung was able to create an environment where every gang could do business. In July 1967 Chung was shot to death in a Honolulu gambling den.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Organized Crime Syndicates )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Land and Power in Hawaii )〕
Chung's death led to a power vacuum of organized criminal activities on the island, with crime bosses rivaling over control of the island. A primarily Samoan mob under the leadership of Alema Leota briefly took over. But it was in 1969 when ''Wilford Pulawa'', a Native Hawaiian and lieutenant of Leota, decided to recruit primarily among other local criminals of Native Hawaiian heritage and form the statewide crime syndicate that would become known as ''The Company''.〔
