Breaking news: Top Clinton donor wanted on swindling charges
His name should be familiar. I just blogged about his nifty donation laundereing scheme.
Is this coincidence or is this a scheme to ‘launder’ campaign donations? I believe it is a carefully arranged way to direct money to campaigns, bypassing campaign donation limits, and not a coincidence
Well turns out that Norman Hsu is also a fugitive, according to the LA Times:
Big Dem fundraiser wanted on swindling charges
The Los Angeles Times reports on this website tonight and in Wednesday’s print editions that a major Democratic Party fundraiser named Norman Hsu is wanted by authorities for skipping out on an agreement to serve up to three years in prison after pleading no contest to grand theft swindling charges.
In a story by Chuck Neubauer and Robin Fields, The Times reports that for three years Hsu has been carving out a place of political and financial influence by funneling hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions into Democratic Party coffers, much of the money earmarked for Sen. Hillary Clinton. He has earned the ranking of Hillraiser for pledging to raise at least $100,000 for her.
