LAHAINA, Hawaii — Long before a wind-whipped wildfire blasted through the island of Maui, tension existed between Hawaii’s kamaaina, or longtime residents, and the visitors some islanders resent for turning their beaches, mountains and communities into playgrounds.

The company, Kamaaina Termite and Pest Control, did provide some legitimate services, but it also served as a headquarters for planning crimes including laundering illicit money and fraudulently employing people whose so-called work involved violence on behalf of Miske’s enterprise, prosecutors said.

Kamaaina Kids Vice President Buffy Owens said the company, one of Hawaii’s largest child care providers, went from caring for 10,000 children to about 600.
