Norman Hsu On The Run?
Posted by Kim on September 5th, 2007
Uh oh. What are the ramifications of this, for the Clinton’s especially?
DEVELOPING STORY: California businessman Norman Hsu, a former New York apparel executive and major contributor to Democratic candidates and causes, failed to appear for a bail reduction hearing Wednesday, leading to speculation that he again is a fugitive from the law, FOX News has learned.
Hsu’s attorneys say they do not know his whereabouts, and that their client did not surrender his passport.
Hsu turned himself in to authorities last week after more than 15 years on the run from a felony conviction of grand theft. He admitted to defrauding investors of $1 million in a bogus investment scam.
He failed to appear in court for sentencing on that 1991 conviction, a revelation that prompted high profile Democrats — including presidential candidate Hillary Clinton — to return thousands of dollars donated by Hsu.
FOX is reporting that Hsu may be on the run.
The LA Times is reporting a warrant for Mr. Hsu’s arrest has been issued:
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — A warrant was issued this morning for Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu, who failed to appear for a bail hearing on a 15-year-old grand theft charge.
San Mateo County Superior Court Judge Robert D. Foiles ordered Hsu, a major fundraiser for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential campaign, to be held without bail should he make an appearance.

Hsu has disappeared – just like all those people subpoenaed during the campaign finance hearings of the 90’s. Hsu appears to have learned his history lesson well.

hsu disappearance will not hurt the clintons at all. any connection between this criminal and the clintons is well known, but finding wrong doing will not be a priority. if anyone starts looking for any wrong doing the clintons will scream of a conspiracy and that they didn’t know anything and at that point will go into victim mode. as is well known crooks take care of each other.
