There has been no lack of stone-cold killers in Hawaii's gangland past. During the struggle for power and control of Hawaii's underworld during the 1960s and 1970s there at least 50 gangland killings, and more unsuccessful attempts. Many of these were executions carried out up close and personal, although others involved less personal methods such as car bombs.
On Monday, Federal Judge Derrick Watson sentenced Buntenbah, 52, to a 36-month term of imprisonment. He had pleaded guilty in March 2022 to a single count of conspiracy to commit assault in aid of racketeering and agreed to cooperate with the government. The charge carries a maximum 5-year prison sentence. The 36-month sentence reflects a one-level downward departure from sentencing guidelines for pleading guilty in a “timely fashion,” but Watson denied Buntenbah's request for an additional reduction in sentence. In addition, Buntenbah was ordered to pay a $50,000 fine, and to serve an additional year on supervised release.
