Update II, and bump: A question that is being missed by many is the source of Hsu’s income. This seems to be mainly a mystery. Outside the beltway ponders:

Let me think here. Skips town to avoid going to jail. Heads back to Hong Kong. Turns up back in the U.S. with buckets of money for the Democrats and nobody is thinking that the Chinese government might be behind it?

Original Story:
===================

Criminal fundraiser Norman Hsu surrendered to California authorities and is being held on $2 Million dollars bail. There is no word on whether the Clinton campaign is going to bail him out :-) (Update: Hsu posted the bail, pretty good for a man on the run. ABC news also noted that the Clinton’s kickoff Senate fundraiser in 2000 was organized by a convicted felon.)

You know what they say, better late than never when it comes to turning yourself in. As Democrats say however, whats the big deal? It’s just been 15 years on the lam. Normal fare.

The LA Times is reporting that there is more to Hsu than meets the eye in the world of trouble.

But Hsu’s history includes more unsavory episodes and associations. In 1990, he allegedly was kidnapped by Chinese gang members in San Francisco as part of an apparent effort to collect a debt. A year and a half later, he pleaded no contest to a charge of fleecing investors in what authorities called a Ponzi scheme of fraud. Along the way, he left a bankruptcy filing and bitter investors who accused him of making off with their savings.

So let’s see now, fleecing investors, bankruptcy, strawman donations to Hillary Clinton (hiding behind a low paid mail carrier nonetheless), an additional mill plus to other democrats and now affiliations with Chinese gangs. Yet the big story of the day is a gay or not gay Republican Senator.

While the Democrats are busy donating the money that Hsu gave to them directly what is going to happen to all the money he contributed through strawmen? Also, how many fundraising scandals are going to happen while the Clintons employ Harold Ickes? This guys name is mentioned alongside scandal after scandal yet he keeps chugging along because he is a very powerful attorney.

Speaking of Ickes, the Democrat Culture of Corruption continues to pile up after the FEC fined the George Soros 527 group America Coming Together a record $775,000 for using unregulated soft money to pump up the campaigns of John Kerry and other Democrats during the 2004 elections.

Ickes was the president of ACT. Total contributions were around $137 million for Democrats in get out the vote efforts. Where is the drumbeat on the Dems Culture of Corruption?
